The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has scolded the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for claiming that his (Atiku's) boss and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, had a problem with him (Atiku) and therefore failed to endorse his presidential bid.
Speaking through Phrank Shaibu, his Special Assistant on Public Communication for the 2023 general elections, Atiku described Wike's comment on Obasanjo's endorsement of Peter Obi as a nonsensical gaffe, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari also failed to endorse his “loyal” deputy, Yemi Osinbajo for president during the All Progressives Congress presidential primary.
According to him in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, Shaibu said"This perhaps explains why a governor who was once a shining light in his party has thrown caution to the wind and has become a laughing stock." "According to the cantankerous and loquacious governor, the decision of Obasanjo to support Obi is evidence that Atiku is unfit for the Presidency.
