The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State met in Abuja om Thursday to resolve some issues, Daily Trust gathered.

Atiku and Wike, who have been having a running battle since the PDP presidential primary, met in the house of Professor Jerry Gana.

Atiku defeated Wike in the primary, and the Rivers’ governor indicated interest in being the presidential running mate, but the former VP settled for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State.

This worsened a hitherto PDP crisis, as Wike fraternised with leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, the PDP BoT met over the issue between Atiku and Wike and resolved to reconcile both men.

After the Wednesday meeting of the BoT, Senator Abdul Ningi, acting secretary of the committee, told journalists that the members of the board would resolve the impasse and enable the party to present a common front during the elections.

A source told Daily Trust that at Thursday’s meeting, which lasted over an hour, the politicians agreed to set aside their differences and work together.

The source said they agreed that a small committee would be set up to look into areas where the camps of Wike and Atiku would work together and that the committee would report to the panel that the BoT set up to resolve the crisis.

Another source said, “It was a win-win meeting because after all the public spat, the two politicians resolved that it is to their advantage to work together.

“Atiku needs Wike because Rivers is undoubtedly the vote bank of the South South. Since 1999, they have been delivering the state to PDP at the governorship and presidential elections.

“Atiku cannot afford to miss the over 1.5m votes being delivered by the PDP because it will affect his electoral fortune, and so obviously he needs Wike.

“On the other hand, Wike cannot go to any other political party at this critical moment, he must remain in PDP to remain relevant after he leaves office in 2023.

“Therefore, he definitely has to work with Atiku so that something would come his way at the end of the day. I’m confident that their meeting at the residence of Prof Jerry Gana is for their benefit.”

Dear Atiku, Tinubu, Obi, Kwankwaso, Umeadi, Sowore, Abiola, And The Lots Of You That I Could Not Mention Here...
I greet you..
..
I want to ask you guys some quick questions.
..
If you become the next president of Nigeria, are you going to do these things below for Nigeria and for Nigerians??
..
Please your excellencies,
find ways to address these issues, and let us know where exactly we are with you guys...
.
.
1. How would your presidency instill the inter-personal security-consciousness and brotherly protection in the citizens, rather than the greedy animosity and selfish survival instincts that we are currently gradually degenerating into.??
.
2. How would your presidency convert the vast natural sources of energy in Nigeria into Electricity??
- Especially the Solar energy, the BioGas-Energy from the wastes generated in the homes and farms and sewage, the wind energy from the arid and semi-arid areas, etc.??
.
3. How would your presidency make the citizens to increase the trust they have in your policies and in the institutions and persons that would be implementing these policies of yours?? That is, are you going to establish adequate feedback mechanisms where the citizens would promptly respond and relay back to you on how the policies are directly or indirectly affecting them, without you as the president expecting to get the results of these policies only from the reports of the same people that were implementing the policies??
.
4. How exactly would your presidency correct all these impunity which the Nigerian Security Agencies are employing while maltreating and intimidating the people??
.
5. How would your presidency make it possible for criminal cases and civil cases (and even cordial cases) to be reported to the Nigeria Police Force anonymously through phone-calls or online interactions, without having to go to the police station to write statements??
.
6. How would your presidency make the lawyers and the judges to be more interested in settling cases and suits in line with the best international standards of practice, and not having themselves influenced by gratifications and kickbacks??
.
7. What exactly would your presidency do, so that the average men on the streets would naturally REDUCE their quests for gathering lots of riches from any means possible just for the sake of luxurious spendings??
.
8. What would your presidency do, so that the average men on the streets would naturally INCREASE their quest for acquiring meaningful personal values to themselves, and be thinking more about providing better life to themselves and to the people around them through the things they produce, or the services they render.??
.
9. What would your presidency do, so that the average men on the streets would instinctively realise that it is better to be known for something tangible attached to his name, rather than to be known for just spending money and throwing money around?? Like, apart from the things money can do, what else does he do?? Like, what does he do exactly as a living person that earns him his living??
.
10. What exactly would your presidency do, so as to instill the sense of self-discipline, self-control, and orderliness in the minds of the average men of the streets as they go about their daily activities.??
.
11. What would your presidency do, so that “Paying of Taxes” becomes a natural part of the citizens, and at the same time, becomes the true representation of the worth of the citizens?? Thus, the very rich ones should pay very high taxes.. And the lesser ones should pay lower taxes.. And then, the very poor ones and unemployed ones have to get paid some stipends by the government, until they find something doing, and start paying their own taxes too according to their earnings and spendings.??
..
12. What would your presidency do about the way people carry out their daily career and business activities, so that all the Government Workers (and also, all the employed workers of private firms and Individual businesses) would have active ways to be applying proper checks and balances in place, and reduce the rate at which they abandon their works to do things that are not part of their works, or to collect funds that are not part of what they are supposed to collect.??
