Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has headed to the UK in an attempt to resolve his rift with Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, TheCable can report.

Sources close to the former vice-president said Abubakar is billed to meet with the Rivers governor on Thursday.

“The PDP presidential candidate headed for London today after arriving Paris yesterday. He is billed to meet with Wike tomorrow in an attempt to resolve the issues between them,” a source said.

Also, associates close to the PDP presidential candidate are not happy with the way in which Sule Lamido, former governor of Jigawa, and Babangida Aliyu, former governor of Niger, have criticised Wike and they want Abubakar to call them to order, another insider said.

In an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday, Lamido said: “We should forget about Wike.”

“Wike is an individual, I don’t think because he is a governor there he has control and monopoly over the peoples of Rivers,” the former Jigawa governor had said.

Abubakar’s desperate move to resolve the issues between him and Wike came a day after Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), met with the Rivers governor in Paris, France.

Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue; Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, and other PDP stalwarts loyal to the Rivers governor also attended the meeting.

ABUBAKAR-WIKE RIFT

The PDP has been in turmoil since it held its presidential primary election in May.

Atiku clinched the party’s ticket after the dramatic withdrawal of Tambuwal from the race. Tambuwal had asked his supporters to support the former vice-president.

The crisis in the party escalated after Atiku chose Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta, as his running mate

Party stakeholders had expressed concerns that Atiku ignored Wike — who was said to have been preferred by a majority of the PDP’s national working committee (NWC) members as the candidate for the position.

Both men met weeks ago but they were not able to broker a truce.

They are wooing themselves and spreading their sharing formulas.

Peter Obi is moving to solve all our problems in Nigeria like

Electricity
Security
Wiping off the foreign debts
Enriching Nigerians

The way all these politicians travel to other countries, like what the fvck? How many times did Biden or Trump came to Nigeria before and after their election? These people are very shameless and their gullible supporters are very useless

How many votes can Wike cast in a Free and Fair Election if the Election is truly going to be free of Rigging ?

The earlier Atiku leave Wike alone the better. Wike is overrated!

For me, I will rather give my vote to Tinubu if there is no Atiku.

Why do they always fly to Europe, Dubai, USA to hold meetings about pressing issues in their country?

Do those nationals come to Nigeria to discuss their national matters?


OBIdience is very important please.

Wike cannot control the direction of the Votes in Port Harcourt, why are they stressing themselves. A lot of Voters are awake and enlightened now, they'll vote who they feel like voting for. His hangers-on Seyi, Okezie and Ortom might not even deliver their States this time around, except for Seyi, who most likely will be re-elected, and can give PDP bloc vote. He should just leave Wike, the man shakara don too much. I know say na PH oil money for campaign their eye dey.

Looser. You jettisoned zoning because it's the turn of South East in PDP. Selfishness is killing PDP. God of the Igbos always fights for them.

See how the betrayers are fighting each other.

See the sorry state of Nigeria because of the way the treated Igbos. Abiola won but it was canceled because he said he could do without Igbos.

North is in tatters because of the innocent pregnant women and children killed during the pogroms in 1967, etc etc.

All that rise up against Igbos shall fall, this is the eternal decree of the Almighty God of creation
