Fayose Traces Source Of Atiku’s Problems With Wike

Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has traced the troubles between Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike to the activities of enemies masquerading as friends around the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidate.

Speaking in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State capital at the inauguration of Community Secondary School Obuama Harry’s Town in Degema Local Government Area, Fayose observed that Atiku does not hate Governor Wike, but a lot of people around him are the enemies creating the tension.

“For me, I want to believe that His Excellency Atiku Abubakar is not against you. But let me say this quickly, a lot of people surrounding the throne are enemies of the throne.

“A lot of people surrounding the throne has one axe to grind with somebody, or some issues with somebody, and they take it to where they’re not supposed to take it.”

Fayose reiterated the need for Alhaji Atiku to work to unify the party so that everybody can focus on how to win the 2023 presidential election.

Fayose noted that it is impossible to wish Governor Wike away and anybody doing so is the real enemy of the party.

“There is no living person in the party and outside this party that will not acknowledge your contribution to this party. You are the soul of this party.

“Rivers State has been here for long but today we can see the difference. The average Rivers man is proud to be from Rivers. They’re proud to say you’re their governor.

“Forget whatever anybody says about you, I’ve said it before, Wike, the man with a fierce look but a good heart. The heart of love, to accomplish and give support.

“The majority of our enemies today are not against you because of anything but against you because you have capacity, they’re against you because they know that when you take over they’ll fall apart.

He further urged those close to the presidential candidate to desist from creating disaffection and allow him to unify the party as the 2023 general elections draw near.

“Wike has not come out to say that Atiku Abubakar is not the presidential candidate. He is. I was there the second day after the election when our candidate, the former vice president visited the residence of Governor Wike.

“We had mutual conversation. We were all happy. Everything was in place to move forward. I spoke at that meeting. But don’t want to aggravate this situation. I’m only appealing to people that matters.

“In every political party there will be grouping. The same family, but different interest. We can do better than we are doing. People around the corridor of power, please allow this candidate to win election. We don’t celebrate victory until it is ours.”

Wike on his part was mum on the crisis in the PDP having used inaugurations in last days to rain missiles at foes within the PDP.
