The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming 2023 General Election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has engaged some Party Leaders including Ex-Governors of the party to help woo the aggrieved camp led by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
Truthlive.net gathered that Atiku rescheduled his rallies in some northern states to meet with new appeasers who will pacify Governor Nyesom Wike and his camp.
Atiku Abubakar of the PDP is going the extra mile to get every aggrieved member of the party to his side as he forges ahead to the 2023 presidential poll. Among those who Atiku was said to have recently recruited for the task are former PDP governors. In a bid to get Governor Nyesom Wike to his side, Atiku Abubakar has put on hold his presidential campaign in major northern states: Kebbi and Zamfara.
Speaking on this decision, the spokesperson for the Atiku’s campaign organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan, disclosed: “The campaign for Kebbi and Zamfara was rescheduled. The campaign is fully on course. PDP and our candidate, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, are fully focused on rescuing Nigeria from the utter maladministration of the APC.”
It was gathered that Atiku had to reschedule the rallies in the states earlier slated to be held on Wednesday, October 12, to meet with some bigwigs in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The aim is to woo Wike and his strong men into supporting the presidential ambition of the former vice president, who is certain that the PDP needs unity and composure to better its chances in the 2023 general elections.
Woke on his part, has repeatedly stated that the only way to resolve the crisis in the party is if the party’s national chairman, Iyiorcha Ayu, resigns from his position.
However, many leaders including the Atiku Abubakar team have said that Ayu’s resignation will jeopardise the PDP’s chances of winning the forthcoming election. Ayu hands over leadership to the Deputy Chairman of the party, Umar Damagun on Tuesday, September.
