PDP crisis: “I spoke with Wike five times but got no answers,” says Atiku
Atiku Abubakar, the candidate for president from the PDP, said on Sunday that he met Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike five times in Abuja, Port Harcourt, and London.
Atiku stated during the People’s Townhall meeting that the goal of the gathering was to resolve the PDP conflict.
But he said that there was no way to move the meeting forward.
Atiku claims: “I personally met Wike twice in Port Harcourt, twice in Abuja, and once in London. I’m waiting for him; it’s not my fault; it’s on the other side.
After losing in the PDP’s presidential primary, Wike is upset with the party’s leaders.
The governor was initially upset that Atiku chose Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running partner instead of him.
Wike and the G-5 integrity group also asked Iyorchia Ayu to step down as the national chairman of the party.
They stated that the national chairman and flagbearer of the party should not come from the North.
Wike and his coalition say that the South should be given the position of national chairman.
