Wike, not Atiku, chased Obi out of PDP- Ex-VP’s aide
Paul Ibe, the spokesperson of the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, of pursuing personal interests at the expense of the party’s collective goals.
Ibe’s comments come in the wake of the political tension between Wike and Atiku which was said to have contributed to the exit of Peter Obi from the party and his subsequent emergence as the Labour Party’s standard-bearer.
Addressing the circumstances surrounding Obi’s departure, Ibe stated that Atiku did not orchestrate the split.
However, Ibe pointed fingers at Wike, accusing him of playing a pivotal role in Obi’s departure due to his ambition to secure the presidency for the southern region.
The rift between Atiku and Wike continued to split the party. The former Vice President and ex-Rivers State governor were holding on to their structures in the PDP and working at cross-purposes.
