Atiku, Wike To Meet Again On Wednesday

The presidential candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar will on Wednesday meet with the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike again to resolve the lingering crisis in the party ahead of the forthcoming presidential election, New Telegraph has reported.

The scheduled meeting is coming barely two weeks after the two political gladiators meet in London to resolve their differences.

Sources in Atiku’s camp told New Telegraph that an understanding was reached for a follow-up meeting between the two parties to conclude on Governor Wike’s demands.

One of the sources said, “What I can tell you is that it was agreed that Waziri gets back to Wike in two weeks’ time after the London meeting. I think the meeting will take place next week, possibly on Wednesday if I am correct,” he intimated of the decision of Atiku and Wike to meet again.

“The PDP hopeful understands the ‘optics’ of the whole crisis, adding that the Adamawa State-born politician remains hopeful of a positive resolution of the problems within the party.

“The Waziri of Adamawa’s doors are wide open, he is not shutting the doors. He still believes that there can be an amicable resolution to the crisis. But the thinking in Atiku’s camp is that whatever demands that are being made should be reasonable.”

Commenting on the crisis, a former Zonal Secretary of the party, who also pleaded not to be named, faulted the timing of the agitation, stating that those canvassing the ouster of Ayu have some ulterior motives which are at variance with the aspiration of the PDP to win next year’s general elections.

“Even though I don’t wish to dabble into this issue, I have to ask; what is the ulterior motive of the people calling for the resignation of Senator Ayu at this time when the commencement of campaigns is just a few weeks away,” he asked against the background of the decision of Atiku and Wike to meet again to iron out final issues.
