The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is the weapon formed against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Olayinka made the remark while recounting how Wike was schemed out of becoming PDP's presidential running mate in 2023. He said some chieftains of the party claimed that Wike would be too strong as Vice President and can't be control. Posting on his X page on Wednesday, the Minister's spokesman said some party chieftains had branded Wike as a disloyal PDP member.
Okowa claimed that he defected to APC to connect Delta State to the Federal level. The former governor also disclosed that Atiku informed him that he would soon defect from the PDP. Meanwhile, there has been leadership crisis in the PDP which started during the build-up to the 2023 presidential election. The party's leadership had refused to honour its rotational convention with the then National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu and Atiku coming from the same geo-political zone.
