The PDP PCC yesterday said the only offence that Atiku committed against Wike was that he defeated him in a transparent election.
In a statement by the spokesman of the PDP PCC, Senator Dino Melaye said, “the only crime is that he won a transparent presidential primary.”
According to Melaye; “Wike should be ashamed that he has constantly solicited the attention of Atiku by his continuous disrespect and unwarranted insult of a man who did nothing to you.
“Atiku’s only crime is that he won a transparent presidential primary. Wike was Chief of Staff to Amaechi, but Amaechi did not trust him enough to hand over to him.
“I advise him to support whoever he wishes to support as we will no longer tolerate his insolent tendencies. The question is, is there something wrong with Wike that Amaechi did not hand over to him? Why will Prince Uche Secondus, Rt. Hon. Austin Okpara, Sen. Lee Meaba, Celestine Omehia, Chief Abiye Sikibo, Sen George Sekibo, Hon. Chinyere Igwe, etc, leave him unceremoniously for Atiku. Something is definitely wrong somewhere,” Melanie said.
Also Melaye said since Obasanjo wrote his controversial book, ‘My Command,’ there had been telling indicators to deduce that he had tried to live in the reality of being in charge always.
According to Melaye, “To be sure, he has tried to impress as the facilitator of succeeding presidents of Nigeria. Ironically, this attitude has grouped him among those euphemistically tagged ‘Owners of Nigeria.’
“His recent advisory on the February 25 election is another testimony to his misconception of being an electoral janitor who can padlock and unlock Nigeria’s electoral fortune at will.
“In the period preceding the 2015 elections, Obasanjo, in his characteristic janitorial expedition, aligned with the marketers of false change. He even tore the membership card of the Party that gave him the opportunity to be President of Nigeria for 8 years. He also appeared in photo opportunities with Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“A few months after Buhari’s election, Obasanjo realised that he had misled himself and many Nigerians. He tried to fight back in 2019, but by then, Buhari had designed some unorthodox ways to remain in power.”
He added: “With about 50 days to the 2023 election, former President Obasanjo is out again as the ‘custodian’ of the key to Aso rock, endorsing a candidate whose main office would be in Abeokuta with the annex office in Abuja. It is hypocritical and politically heretic to appeal to Nigerian youths to take their turn by supporting a candidate who is far older than many other young flagbearers. This is the facade in Obasanjo’s postulation. Neither Nigerian youths nor other discerning electorates are deceived anymore.”
