The last may not have been heard about the internal wrangling in the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the Rivers State governor, Nyesome Wike threatened to open can of worms soon.
The PDP had embroiled in crisis shortly it held its Presidential Primaries where the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar defeated governor Wike and other contenders .
Since then there have been no love lost between the PDP Presidential candidate and the Rivers State governor.
Atiku, had in an interview on Arise TV on Friday, said he chose who he felt could deliver among the nominees that were presented to him.
Wike, who was tipped as Atiku’s running mate equally lost the slot to Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.
But Wike, in a veiled reference to Atiku’s interview tweeted on Saturday night, that Nigerians would know the truth about recent events in the party when he finally speaks.
“On Atiku, I will speak soon and Nigerians will know the actual truth of all that has transpired in the PDP in recent times”, Wike wrote on Twitter.
Asked why he rejected Wike as his running mate during the interview, Atiku said Wike was not rejected and that he only picked someone he could work with “amicably.”
“I didn’t reject Wike, I picked who can deliver. Wike is brilliant and tenacious. Going by history, I picked an Igbo as running mate in 2007, in 2019. I still picked an Igbo as running mate for 2023.
“The committee that presented the three nominees was chaired by the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom. They recommended three people, so I picked one. People should be fair to me and state the facts”, he added.
