"It is most unfortunate since after our primary I've decided to be quiet"- Wike voices out over PDP crisis

Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has responded to every problem that arose during and following the People's Democratic Party presidential primary election (PDP).

Recalls that Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, won the party's nomination for president in 2023 following the primary election.

The former Vice President was called a liar by Wike, who spoke on Friday at the Port Harcourt International Airport in the Rivers State shortly after his return from Spain.

"I told my special media adviser that I'm going to speak on issues. We know in this part of our world when lies are been contorted, it becomes a fact.

“I have always believed when the left speaks, allow the right to also speak. We are not getting younger and as days pass we get older.

“So is important when issues are raised or when speeches are made, one should be able to say this the part of my story so that the public we know the truth.

"It is most unfortunate since after our primary I have decided to be quiet because is a party I love so much. I never said anything, I decided to go back home and fulfilled the promises I made to the people of Rivers State.

“When the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar unveiled his running mate, know right thinking person and a lover of this party will say that the speech he made on that day was fair.

"Forget about his hailers, the scavengers and I never reacted to it. I said, no this party belongs to all of us.

"Atiku then made a statement on Arise TV; see the statement he made. There were so many lies spread, and you said I should not react to some of those problems. "Assuming today I am not living, surely what he has claimed would be accepted as the truth," he continued, "that will not be fair."
