The camp of the presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to recent meetings between
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and presidential candidates of other
political parties.
Obi, who is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party
(LP) had visited Wike in Port Harcourt a few days after the Rivers State
Governor failed in the bid to grab the main opposition party’s presidential
ticket.
While details of the meeting remain sketchy, the former
Anambra State Governor, hours later, took to his official Twitter handle to say
that he met with Wike to discuss vital national issues.
After Obi’s visit, the presidential candidate of the New
Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, followed suit.
Then on Thursday, Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the APC in
Lagos State, informed Nigerians that Wike and Bola Tinubu met in France.
And reacting to the development, Segun Sowunmi, Spokesman,
Atiku Presidential Campaign, said, “I have never doubted that we have a
phenomenon in the person of Governor Nyesom Wike. He is our asset, our party
man through and through.
“Therefore, when some of those that have graduated from our
school of politics like Peter Obi run to him, it makes me smile.
“When you hear that the APC presidential candidate, [Bola
Tinubu] wants to meet him in France, you know what I remember?
“I remember my indefatigable leader, Nyesom Wike, when he
said, ‘I’ll never leave a place that is suffering from malaria and run to a
place that is suffering from cancer.’
“I suppose you are really truly believing that, in your
wistfulness, PDP will implode. It’s not going to happen.”
