GWG.ng reports that Governor Wike who is the leader of the G5 had at the rally said:
“Vote for Seyi, vote for the Senator, vote for the House of Reps, vote for the House of Assembly. For the other one (presidency), Seyi would talk to you.”
That assertion was, however, tapered off with chants of Atiku, Atiku, Atiku.
Responding to the snub of Governor Wike at the Ibadan rally of the PDP, Atiku went to his his twitter account on Friday, to mock:
“Oyo State, I heard you loud and clear yesterday. I take it warmly as a vote of confidence in me and our great party, @OfficialPDPNig. You proved that my love for the Pace-Setter State over the years is not in vain.
“My promise to you is this: we shall work closely together in the mission to Recover Nigeria – AA”
