PDP crisis: Atiku asked to sign agreement with Wike

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has been advised on the best way to settle his rift with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

Wike and Atiku have been on warpath following the refusal of the PDP candidate to pick the former as his running mate.

Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the party is of the opinion that Atiku should have a close-door meeting with Wike and if possible, sign an agreement to win his trust back.

Momodu suggested, “What I would advise Atiku Abubakar to do today is to sit down one-on-one without no other person present with Governor Wike and agree on deliverables, If possible, sign an agreement.

“The situation in PDP shows what Wike is in the equation of things in Nigeria. If you have a man who is your best governor across the board, across party lines, Wike stands out as a fantastic performer.

“Today, the fear of Wike is the beginning of wisdom in PDP, there is no question about that. Wike is smart, he knows the game he’s playing, and what he wants to do is to force a deal with the party. That’s my own reading of the situation.”
