2023: Reno Omokri Speaks As Wike Denies suit Against Atiku

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has taken to his social media handle to react after Governor, Nyesom Wike, of Rivers state denounced a suit challenging the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

GWG reports that, Wike during an interview disclosed that the alleged suit said to have been filed by him was the handiwork of mischief makers to cause confusion and crisis in the party.

Recall that reports had emerged that, Wike had filed a petition against PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku demanding that he should be declared the party’s flag bearer following misconduct during the PDP primaries.

In the suit, Wike reportedly asked the court to determine eight issues which include whether the purported transfer of Tambuwal’s votes to Atiku by the PDP was illegal and void.

He urged the court to decide if Tambuwal lost his claim to votes the moment he stepped down for Atiku, whilst further asking the court to determine whether Tambuwal “having stepped down during the primaries ought to lose his votes.”

Wike denies Lawsuit Against Atiku

However, hours after the news went viral, Wike said: “I don’t know anything about the so called suit. I did not ask anyone to file any suit for me “I don’t know the lawyers”.

Continuing, he said, “am I a kid to be filing a suit at this time. I had 14 days after the primary within which to have filed any suit. I didn’t do that then, is it two months after primary I will file a suit?”

Reacting to the development, Reno took to his Instagram page to reveal that PDP has internal mechanisms which are being put into effect if Wike has grievances against the party.

He stated that the party and its presidential candidate got nothing but love for Wike.

“If Governor Wike has grievances, we have internal mechanisms. And those mechanisms are being put into effect. PDP and Atiku have nothing but love for Wike. We are sorry to disappoint our enemies who expected us to fight each other in court, and who perhaps sponsored the spurious law suit.”
