The Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, has declared that it will no longer remain silent in response to Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, continually criticizing Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential nominee.
Recall that Governor Wike had repeatedly confronted the former vice president after demanding the resignation of PDP National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu in exchange for his support of Atiku in the February election.
When Atiku’s former teacher, Olusegun Obasanjo, endorsed Peter Obi for the Labour Party presidential nomination on Monday, Wike responded by mocking Atiku and asserting that something must be very wrong.

In response, the PDP demanded that Wike be ashamed of himself in a statement that was released and signed by Senator Dino Melaye, the spokesperson and director of public affairs for the PDP Presidential Campaign Management Committee.
The statement reads, “Wike should be ashamed that he has constantly solicited the attention of Atiku by his continuous disrespect and unwarranted insult of a man who did nothing to you.
“I advise him to support whoever he wishes to support as we will no longer tolerate his insolent tendencies. The question is, is there something wrong with Wike that Amaechi did not hand over to him?
“Why will Prince Uche Secondus, Rt Hon. Austin Okpara, Sen. Lee Meaba, H:E Celestine Omehia, Chief Abiye Sikibo, Sen George Sekibo, Hon. Chinyere Igwe, etc, leave him unceremoniously for Atiku. Something is definitely wrong somewhere”.
