Atiku’s Interview Full Of Lies, Governor Wike Opens Up

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar told many lies during his recent interview.

Wike, who spoke on Friday morning at the Port Harcourt International Airport, said:
Thereafter he (Atiku) appeared before Arise Television, see the statements he made. So many lies were told”.

Governor Wike had earlier stated that it has become pertinent for him to speak and reveal to Nigerians all that has transpired in the PDP since the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the main opposition party.

“O Atiku, I will speak soon, and Nigerians will know the actual truth of all that has transpired in the PDP in recent times,” he was quoted to have said in the statement.

Wike’s rift with Atiku started after the PDP presidential candidate picked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as his running mate over him.

Atiku’s choice of Wike has polarised the PDP as stakeholders who are loyal to the Rivers governor have shunned some of the party’s activities, such as the unveiling of Okowa and the party’s campaign in the just concluded Osun governorship election.

In a recent interview, Atiku said he did not reject Governor Wike, but he chose Okowa because he wanted someone he could work with amicably.

He also maintained that it is his prerogative to choose his running mate just as he said the crisis in the PDP would soon be be resolved
