The aggrieved PDP Chiefs engaged Iwuanyanwu in a shouting match after he requested to have a closed door meeting with the visiting former Vice President who was on a courtesy call in his office before meeting with PDP stakeholders in the state.

Kema was particularly furious over Iwuanyanwu’s demand, describing it as embarrassing and selfish.
According to her, Atiku was in the state to consult with PDP members and should not be hijacked by anybody.
Shortly after the fracas which lasted for over 30 minutes, Ihedioha, Kema, Onyereri and their supporters stormed out of the meeting. All efforts to placate them by Atiku were abortive.
Meanwhile, Atiku told journalists that the desire to move Nigeria forward has sustained his desire to be the President of Nigeria.
The ex VP who came in the company of the Director General of his Campaign Organization and former Governor of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniel and other members of his campaign team, said that he had the solution to the litany of challenges confronting the country .
According to him, “patriotism is the key thing; it is the thing propelling my presidential ambition. I want to move Nigeria forward; patriotism is needed to move Nigeria forward.”
He said he was in the state to consult the leadership of PDP in the state ahead of the party’s presidential primary.
Responding, Iwuanyanywu said that he will not retire from politics until Atiku became president.
The elder statesman stated that the country was in dire need of a leader like Atiku to develop the country.
Iwuanyanywu said “I will not retire from politics until Atiku Abubakar becomes president. Atiku is the kind of President Nigeria needs. There is poverty in the land because of bad governance supporting Atiku is the best thing to do.
“Igbo has been marginalized in this government and sadly some Igbo people are still supporting Buhari.”

They all want Atiku money.
