Atiku/Okowa: Soon, Nigerians Will Know The Truth – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says very soon, he will break his silence on the recent happenings in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, revealed this in a statement on Saturday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The governor said that it has become pertinent for him to speak and reveal to Nigerians all that has occurred in the PDP since the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the main opposition party.

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

Governor Wike had gone under the radar as it relates to the PDP affairs since he lost the party’s presidential ticket to former Vice President Atiku.

In the party’s presidential primary held in May, Atiku polled 371 votes to emerge as the PDP’s flagbearer ahead of Wike who scored 237 votes to come second in the contest.

However, weeks after the primary was held, the PDP presidential candidate named Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate in the forthcoming election.

This, however, led to a disagreement among party stakeholders as some commended the choice of Okowa while others rejected it, saying Atiku should have selected Wike who was the runner-up in the primary instead of his Delta counterpart.
