A PDP chieftain in Rivers State, Princewill Dike, has warned the party and its presidential candidate not to ignore the demands from Wike’s camp.
Dike, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP in Port Harcourt yesterday, said Atiku and the PDP would face embarrassing defeat in the 2023 presidential election should they go ahead to ignore Wike’s camp.
He blamed the party’s presidential candidate and the national chairman of the party, Sen Iyorchia Ayu, of mismanaging an internal crisis in the party that should have been nipped in the bud before it gathered steam.
He said: “The presidential candidate of the PDP will be playing with fire if he chooses to ignore the demands of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike and his camp.
“Those people hanging around him and mounting pressure on him to call the bluff of Governor Wike are leading him to the abyss.
“It will be foolhardy for Atiku and some enemies of the PDP to think that a governor who mobilised resources, fought federal government and rebuilt the party most of them abandoned no longer matters at this crucial time.”
