Atiku reacts as Wike’s group pulls out of PDP campaign

The spokesman of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, says he’s optimistic that aggrieved leaders of the party and the national leadership would still find a common ground to work together for the party’s in 2023.

Charles Aniagwu, told Sun in Asaba on Wednesday, while reacting to the reports on some prominent leaders in the camp of the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, pulling out of the presidential campaign of the party.

Among those who reportedly pulled out were five governors, five former governors and former national party officials.

Aniagwu told Daily Sun that the issues agitating the aggrieved leaders were not new, adding that the party holds the said leaders in very high esteem.

“It is the issues they raised before, they have not added any new issue. But I am still confident that as we make progress, the leadership and they themselves will find a common ground.

“We value them, and we look forward to having them work together with other members of the party,” he stated.

“Many people are looking towards the direction of PDP to rescue the country, even some members of APC are looking towards the direction of our party because they are also disappointed in their party.

“We believe that the goal will be the same because they are also desirous of Nigeria being rescued.

“I believe that a time will come when everybody will put that rescue mission in front of any other issue,” Aniagwu said.
