We Have Not Closed The Door Yet – Wike Speaks After Storming Bauchi With G5 Governors To Allegedly Woo Gov Mohammed

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has shed more light on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) crisis after meeting with his colleague, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state on Wednesday.

Naija News recalls that Wike and four of his allies better known as the G5 had visited Bala in Bauchi.

The visit is coming in the wake of reports that Bala is set to leave the party’s presidential campaign over claims that the party’s standard bearer, Atiku Abubakar’s loyalists are working against his own re-election.

Speaking after the meeting, Wike said that the door to reconciliation is not yet closed and if the right thing is done peace would be restored to the party,

He said, “I have stated severally that we are here for reconciliation. We have never closed the door for reconciliation. All we are calling for is equity, fairness, and justice. In fact, that is the hallmark that PDP stands for. We have never closed the door and we would not close the door.

“All we are saying is, ‘Look, let the right thing be done.’ If the right thing is done, the whole country would know that the election is over. This G5 you are seeing is the bedrock of the party so we would not close the door for reconciliation; we are open for reconciliation any day, anytime.”

Wike and his allies have been at loggerheads with the party after the Rivers leader lost the PDP presidential primary to Atiku.

They are demanding the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as the National Chairman of the PDP and have pulled out of the party’s presidential campaign.

Reconciliation moves have also so far failed.
