2023: Wike Has More PDP Governors On His Side – Party Chieftain

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) head stated on Friday that Nyesom Wike’s campaign has the support of more governors than Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate.

When responding to the assertion that Atiku had more governors on his side, the PDP leader, who talked to The Nation on the condition of anonymity, made this revelation.

The former vice president was said to have the support of six governors, compared to Wike’s support of five governors.

According to a source in Governor Wike’s camp, Atiku does not have up to six governors on his side.

The source claims that a drama would soon take place that will demonstrate Atiku’s lack of support.

He added that Governor Wike’s camp has resisted moving the party’s BoT chairman position to the South.

According to the source, Atiku’s campaign directorial offers may be rejected unless party national chairman Ayu is ousted.

Wike’s team may not contribute to the campaign, the party chieftain added, but it may participate minimally at all levels.

He claimed that the party’s desire to maintain power in its various states will be protected by the camp.

The source said, “We will certainly not disclose all our options until we get to a safe bend.”

In the midst of the party’s crisis, governors chosen on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform are said to have split into four groups.

This comes after only four of the party’s thirteen governors—Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, Douye Diri of Bayelsa, Darius Ishaku of Taraba, and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State—attended the party’s National National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

Samuel Ortom, the governor of Benue State, and Ahmadu Fintiri, the governor of Adamawa State, had sent representatives to the conference.
