2023: Buhari’s aide backing Atiku, PDP – Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers has accused an unnamed aide of President Muhammadu Buhari of backing the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, for the 2023 election.

Wike, on Thursday, alleged that the support of the Presidency official is giving Atiku confidence and makes the former vice president arrogant.

The governor stated that in due time he would reveal the identity of the Buhari’s aide providing support for Atiku and the PDP.

Wike noted that the same forces at the Presidency promised one of the presidential aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party’s ticket.

He, however, said the Presidency forces failed in their promise.

Wike also described as inconsequential the resignation of the Chairman, PDP Board of Trustees, Walid Jibrin.

He said the National Chairman of PDP, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, must resign as he promised.
