Governor Wike claimed that a substandard product is never easy to sell, else former President Olusegun Obasanjo, with whom he had worked, would have endorsed Atiku to Nigerians. On Monday, Wike pleaded with Atiku to keep him out of the PDP’s related problems.
The former president Olusegun Obasanjo announced his endorsement of Peter Obi (Labour Party) as his New Year’s message as opposed to Atiku.
Obasanjo’s vice president was Atiku. They reportedly had a tough public relationship, according to history.
Governor Wike maintained that something must be seriously wrong if former president Obasanjo declined to endorse Atiku Abubakar.
What Wike was told by the Atiku campaign:
“Atiku’s only crime is that he won a transparent presidential primary.
“Wike was chief of staff to Rotimi 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, H:E Celestine Omehia, Chief Abiye Sikibo, Sen George Sekibo, Hon. Chinyere Igwe, etc, leave him unceremoniously for Atiku. Something is definitely wrong somewhere.”
