The rift between the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike and the 2023 presidential flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP may be far from over recent information made available to POLITICS NIGERIA indicates.
A reliable source and close associate of the Governor disclosed that wike has resolved not to leave the party as he was a major stakeholder in it but completely ruled out any possibility of working for the former Vice-President.
Wike and Atiku have been on a war path ever since the latter refused to select the former as his running mate. Despite getting 14 recommendations from the 17 member panel set up by the party leadership to search for a Vice-Presidential candidate, Wike who came second in the presidential primaries was still rejected by Atiku who opted for Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.
The party has since been polarised as many members and stakeholders loyal to Wike have practically stayed away from party activities including campaigns in the just concluded Osun governorship elections which the party won.
Most recently, Atiku during an interview on Arise TV admitted that there were issues between him and Rivers strongman but stated that it was his prerogative to choose his running mate. He added that he was already working to solve the issues.
However, in a swift response, Wike stated that he will open up on the crisis rocking the party. He threatened to reveal some secrets in the party.
He pointed out that it had become pertinent for him to speak and reveal to Nigerians all that has transpired in the party since Atiku’s emergence.
THEREFORE, WHERE IS THE OPENING UP THAT Wike PROMISED NIGERIANS EARLIER?
We cannot and should not take the words of a third-party snitch for the much-expected Wike’s blow.
I WROTE AND AVERRED IN THE LINK BELOW, THAT WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING AND MORE WOULD COME ON THE HEELS OF GOVERNOR Ortom’s REVELATION ON ARISE TV INTERVIEW. ABOUT THE INTERNL CRISIS WITHIN THE PDP. A RESULTANT FALL OUT OF THEIR ARRANGEE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES AND WHAT IT WOULD PORTEND FOR THE VIABILITY OF THE DYING PARTY.

You would recall that the Waziri has come out to debunk most of the spurious commentaries by Governor Ortom. In his own expose’ in another interview on the same ARISE TV. Where he refuted and diffused most of the Ortom’s conjectures and tell-tales about the said primaries. Abubakar Atiku informed the world that Governor Ortom lied about the incidents at the primaries. He refuted the idea of a 17 man vote for Wike out of a panel of 19 constituted to advise on the VP or running mate for the Waziri in the coming presidential race for Nigeria. Former VP Atiku Abubakar also inclined and ready to produce the report of the presidential panel for the exercise for the whole world to see and ascertain and establish the DOUBLE FACE character of Governor Ortom.
INCLUDING OF NOTE THAT EVEN GOVERNOR Ortom HAS MADE A 95% VOLTE FACE AWAY FORM HIS INITIAL WOLF CRY ABOUT THE MATTER IN PURVIEW. ALTHOUGH NOT 360% ABOUT FACE, YET.
Nigerians, we are in the hands and custody of DUAL PERSONALITY characters and why we may not get out of the woods in a very long time to come.
