The 2023 Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has said that he has no quarrel with the Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike.
Speaking to Journalists on Thursday in Osogbo, Osun state capital, Atiku said that the PDP was united.
“It is a social media drama. There is nothing like a Wike camp or Atiku camp. There is one PDP family.”
Atiku was also asked if there is a plan to meet with Wike for reconciliation, and he responded by saying: “Why not? I am open to that.”
The former vice-president added that the party will surmount its present challenges.
“Some people get angry when things don’t go their way and so on and so forth. We will overcome that. I have every belief that we are going to do that,” he said.
The opposition party has been embroiled in rancour since Abubakar named Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta state, as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
Wike is said to be seriously disgruntled that Atiku reject him for Okowa despite being selected by the Party’s 16-man committee setup to select a running mate for the former Vice President.
