Recall that among the PDP stakeholders who were in Osogbo for the campaign, Governor Nyesom Wike was absent.
Atiku had sent a powerful delegation to Wike while he was in Dubai, unfortunately, Wike refused to welcome the reconciliation delegates.
Atiku said, “Some people get angry when things don’t go their way and so on and so forth. We will overcome that. I have every belief that we are going to do that.
Speaking on whether he is still out to negotiate with Wike, Atiku said, “Why not? I am open to that.
“It is a social media drama. There is nothing like a Wike camp or Atiku camp. There is one PDP family.”
Governor Wike of Rivers State was defeated by Atiku Abubakar at the PDP presidential primary election, things, however, fell apart, when Atiku fell to appoint Wike a vice-presidential candidate following the recommendation of a 16-man committee set p by Atiku to suggest a suitable running mate.
