Senator Walid Jibrin, a former Board of Trustees Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike and the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, are brothers.
Jibrin, the Chairman of the PDP presidential and governorship campaign council in Nasarawa State, stated this on Thursday during his party’s zonal campaign rally in the state’s Awe Local Government Area.
He revealed that the party’s leaders were working feverishly to resolve the disputes before the 2023 elections.
According to him;
What is happening now in the PDP is a family matter. Alhaji Atiku and Governor Wike are brothers. As leaders, we are making efforts to address the issues, and we are hopeful that they will be resolved before the February 2023 elections.
I stepped down from my position as BoT chairman to allow peace to reign in the party and pave way for other party stakeholders who had never occupied my former position to do so.
I am confident that the PDP will retake the presidency and win many states during the forthcoming elections, so I am urging our party members and supporters to remain resolute in the struggle.”
Speaking about the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket, Jibrin claimed that the ruling party was plotting to divide the country.
He argued that Tinubu’s excuse that his wife is a Christian is weak and insulting to Nigerians’ sensibilities.
He lamented that the former Governor of Lagos State could not be trusted because his actions could destabilize the country.
That singular unpatriotic gesture, coming at a time of rising security challenges confronting the nation is never a welcome development.
The apparent late excuses by Tinubu to justify what is clearly an anomaly, that his wife is a Pentecostal pastor, are lame and insulting to the sensibility of Nigerians.
And with what the APC and its presidential candidate have done, it is obvious that Nigeria cannot be safe in the hands of the former governor of Lagos State whose decisions and actions could plunge the country into chaos, he added.
