Nyesom Wike Visits PDP Presidential Flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar

Nyesom Wike has today paid a Belated visit to the People Democratic Party (PDP) presidential flag bearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at his residence.

Mr Wike was one of the top contenders in the party’s primary on Saturday. He scored 237 votes, closely behind Mr Abubakar who scored 371 votes to win the election.

Mr Wike was reported to have been the most aggressive aspirant in terms of spending and campaigning and stood a good chance of winning the primary but for the last-minute withdrawal of the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, from the race.

Mr Wike had left the convention venue as soon as it was clear that Mr Abubakar had won the presidential ticket while other aspirants like Bukola Saraki, former Senate President, and Governor Udom Emmanuel, congratulated him.

Atiku Abubakar tweets;

“It was a pleasure to receive His Excellency Nyesom Wike in the company of notable leaders and officials of our great party, @OfficialPDPNig, at my residence today.

I am proud of the promises that this spirit of camaraderie holds for our party as a united front that guarantees victory in the next election to rescue the country”. – AA
