Paul Ibe, the spokesperson of the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has disclosed that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, was instrumental in the exit of Peter Obi from the party.

Ibe said Atiku wanted the PDP to zone the 2023 presidential ticket to the Southeast but Wike worked against it.

Obi was the vice presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 presidential election but dumped the party for the Labour Party, LP, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

He later became a force in the last general election, securing over six million votes.

Since the PDP and LP lost to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2023 election, the leading opposition party has yet to resolve its internal crisis.

However, Ibe said Atiku was ready to zone the PDP presidential ticket to the Southeast.

In an interview on Seun Okinbaloye’s Mic On podcast, Ibe said Wike frustrated the move to zone PDP’s ticket to the Southeast.

He said: “Atiku did not force Peter Obi out of the party, Wike was instrumental in the exit of Obi because Wike had promoted the zoning of the presidency to the south.

“Atiku Abubakar had said that he was prepared to get himself off the ticket if the party zoned the ticket to the Southeast.

“Wike frustrated that effort because he believed that if it was zoned to the south, not the southeast, he would be in the best position to be able to get the ticket.”

Righthussle:
The game is to use Obidients against Wike. Atiku lacks the force and balls to do the work, so it will smart and cheaper to incite Obidients to help Atiku fight Wike.

Watch how Obidients will fall for this easily.

Nyamiriflathed:
Peter Obi is weak and not a leader. Any small resistance, he changes party

Macphenson:



Oga strong man. it is good Peter Obi left and tested his political weight with an unknown party like LP. He garnered six million votes without a structure of criminality and without bribing any electoral officer
The weak man beat the strong man Tinubu in his home Lagos and Abuja.

If not for Wike's rigging and INEC chairmans switching off the server, he beat your strong men hands down.

Today the weak man is given ur strong men serious opposition single handedly

Googledotcom:
This statement from Ibe may not be totally correct. We all know Atiku is a serial contestant of PDP presidential elections, Atiku wouldn't have accepted to be vice to Obi for any reason.
