Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike, is of the opinion that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) must apologize to Nigerians over the statement made by the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku while speaking at an event organized by Northern Elders last weekend, had advised that Northerners only need a President from the North, and not someone who is Igbo or Yoruba.

Atiku said;

“I know the whole of this country. I have built bridges across this country. I think what the average northerner needs is somebody who is from the north, who also understands the other parts of Nigeria, and who has been able to build bridges across the rest of the country.

“This is what the northerner needs. He (the northerner) doesn’t need a Yoruba candidate or an Igbo candidate. This is what the northerner needs. I stand before you as a pan-Nigerian of northern origin”.

Wike reacting on the matter on Monday, October 16, shortly after arriving from Spain, said that he doubted the possibility of Atiku making such a statement at a critical time and also considering the diversity of cultures in the country. But such disposition from Atiku would justify his fight for equity, justice and fairness in the PDP.

The Nation reported that the Rivers state Governor has asked the PDP to urgently address the issue and appeal to Nigerians otherwise people would begin to see the party as one that lacked justice and equity.
