In other news, the Senior Special Assistant to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike on Public Communications, Lere Olayinka, has blamed the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
He submitted that Atiku has always been putting his personal interest above party interest, and the leadership of the PDP have so far failed to call him to order.
Olayinka made the submission during an interview with Punch on Monday, where he was asked about the internal challenges facing the party and the probability of the PDP challenging for power in 2027.
The media aide to the FCT Minister, in his response, blamed Atiku for the crisis rocking the PDP. He said the former Vice President has always been leading rebellion in the PDP and is responsible for the current sorry state of the party including the famous loss of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 election.
Olayinka submitted that if Atiku withdraws from the 2027 presidency, the crisis rocking the PDP would calm down.
He charged Atiku to, in the light of current happenings and in the best interest of the PDP, step down from running for the presidency and support whoever emerges as the party’s presidential candidate.
According to him, Atiku is not the only one in PDP, and everything should not always be about him.
