Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate for 2023, says he is no longer concerned about the party’s leadership issue.
Recall that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, as well as his counterparts in Benue, Enugu, Abia, and Oyo States, Samuel Ortom, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Okezie Ikpeazu, and Seyi Makinde, clashed with the presidential candidate over the demand for the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
Wike and the four other disgruntled governors had pledged to withhold their support for Atiku in 2023 until Ayu resigned as National Chairman of the party.

Efforts by party stakeholders to restore normalcy were futile after a series of talks with Wike failed to produce results.
Speaking on the matter, the former vice president in an interview with VOA Hausa, said he has moved on, stating that leadership change is currently impossible in the party.
“We are yet to resolve the matter. But we have moved on, I don’t have any worries about that anymore.
“And at this junction, it’s improper to talk about leadership change in the party while elections are fast approaching,” Atiku said.
