Spokesperson of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, Dino Melaye, has said his principal will receive the support of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the rift between Atiku and Wike started after the governor’s desire of becoming the party’s vice-presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections failed following the emergence of the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, as Atiku’s running mate.

“Reconciliation is ongoing. We’ve gone extremely far on it. We have made tremendous progress,” Melaye told Punch in an interview published on Saturday.

“Wike actually is a distinguished member of our party. He is a strong pillar of our party and I can assure you that he will work and support the candidature of Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.”

Meanwhile, members of the committee constituted by Messrs Atiku and Wike have begun discussion with a view to ensuring reconciliation.

The committee members comprising representatives from Atiku and Wike camps met on Friday at Government House, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
