The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar says he has met with Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike in a bid to resolve the lingering crisis within the party.
Atiku, who stated this on Sunday night during a live discussion on People’s Townhall, admitted that there has been no way forward.
Asked why he was yet to resolve the month-long imbroglio, Atiku said, “I have met Wike two times in Port Harcourt, two times in Abuja, one time in London, personally.”
“It is not on my part; it is on the other side; I am waiting for him,” he said, without revealing the kernel of his discussions with the Rivers governor.
Wike has since been at loggerheads with PDP presidential candidate (Atiku) over the chairmanship of Iyorchia Ayu.
The governor with four other PDP governors known as the G5 or the Integrity Group have insisted that Benue-born Ayu must step down for a southerner as a precondition to support the 2023 ambition of Atiku.
