Exuding confidence, Atiku recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, who did not win Rivers State, relied on votes from Lagos, Kano and other strategic states to win the 2019 presidential poll.

The dust over the presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the choice of Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate by its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has not settled.

Although Atiku and Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike met yesterday in Abuja at the instance of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), led by Senator Walid Jibrin, a source said it did not lead to a truce.

The meeting was hosted by former Information and Culture Minister Prof. Jerry Gana at his residence.

At a meeting with BoT members on Wednesday, Atiku boasted that PDP can win next year’s election without many votes from Rivers State.

He said there was no cause for alarm if Wike did not want to fall in line with him.

Exuding confidence, Atiku recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, who did not win Rivers State, relied on votes from Lagos, Kano and other strategic states to win the 2019 presidential poll.

He also said PDP ran into crisis because Wike allegedly monetised the presidential primary.

Wike, who was privy to what transpired at the BOT meeting, was said to have complained about Atiku’s recent comment about him.

A source said: “Wike joined issues with Atiku over his recent comments or pronouncements at the second meeting.

MrMaestro:
The two countries IPOBIANS always talk about, Ghana and Egypt, are both on this list. These people don’t know what the Bleep they’re talking about. All sentiments, no facts or proper analysis.

For El-rufai to have said that, then its game over.. El-rufai, like Tinubu are the type of politician that don't go into a battle with being 100% certain of victory

olumide4christ:
I completely agree with you!

During my days in the higher institution during Tinubu's administration in 2001, I personally visited the roads being constructed by Julius Berger, specifically, Yaba-Lawanson-Iyana Itire road and the Marina road at CMS on different occasions. I went there for a personal field trip to see practically what I was being taught in school and I also asked the Berger staff some questions about road construction. I was awed by the different kinds of construction equipment at the disposal of Julius Berger.

Fast forward to 2012-2014 when Peter Obi was in power in Anambra state, I was on a GTBANK branch project in UNIZIK, Awka. I would fly to Enugu then charter a cab to Awka on a number of occasions. Sometimes I would leave Awka and travel to Onitsha enroute to Benin where I had another GTBANK branch project at UNIBEN. All the roads to and from Awka to Onitsha was an eyesore.

Why then should I now cast my vote for Peter Obi?

Tinubu has my vote. I vote for competence over emotions any day anytime.
