Why Wike Should Resolve Rift With Atiku – Arewa Forum

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, who is the leader of the five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been urged to resolve his differences with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Naija News reports that the leader of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) in the South, Musa Saidu, made the appeal to the governor on Thursday.

Speaking days before the February 25th presidential election, Saidu said Wike and his other G-5 members have every right to be aggrieved with the actions of any of his party leaders.

He, however, appealed to them to be open to reconciliation, saying the governor should not be seen or counted among those that pulled down a party he helped to build.

Saidu said: “Governor Nyesom Wike has a right to feel aggrieved, and I commend him for making his feelings known, not like some politicians that will pretend to be with you but they are not with you.

“Wike is a very strong-willed person. I want the Wike issue to be settled peacefully. I also appeal to Wike to settle with his brother Alhaji Atiku. Forgiveness is one of the beauties of life. We thank Wike for the roads he has done for us.”

The ACF leader also advised politicians to be wary of some persons masquerading as representatives of northerners in the south, coming to pledge northern support to them, describing them as fraudsters.

Commenting on Atiku, Saidu: “In 2019, I mobilised for Atiku. At my convenience, I will say if I am with him. I don’t need prompting from anyone.”
