Wike’s Outbursts, Frivolous, Made Out Of Anger – Atiku Campaign Team

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Management Council, has said that Governor Nyesom Wike’s of Rivers outbursts which it described as “frivolous and nonsensical” were uttered out of uncontrolled anger.

Spokesman of the Council, Senator Dino Melaye, who stated this when he featured on Arise Television programme on Monday morning, said the Atiku team has resolved that it would not allow itself to be distracted with frivolities and spurious allegations that have no basis and do not even make common sense, stressing that responding to such spurious statements without evidence is not going to get the attention and reaction of the Campaign team.

He further said that the fact that Governor Wike is aggrieved does not translate into the party being in trouble, stressing that there would be no time that there can be 100 percent compliance from all members of a party.

According to Melaye; “Governor Wike’s issue is an ongoing issue and in a matter of days ahead, it will be resolved and even the declaration by the Governor Wike group is not absolute because I have spoken to very credible members of the group and they have told me they cannot work against PDP.

“In fact, some of them are already working in their various states for the actualisation of Atiku Abubakar as the next president of the country. So, that statement is not sealed,” he enthused.

Melaye pointedly said that the Atiku Campaign team is more determined and focused on how the PDP presidential candidate is going to win the 2023 presidency in order to address critical areas begging for attention in the country.

He further said that the country is not only sick but seriously suffering from a dreadful congenital abnormality that requires urgent amelioration and correction and not responding to frivolities made out of anger.

In the words of Melaye; “I must say that the recent statements by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State against some prominent members of the PDP, including our presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, are frivolous.

“We don’t react to frivolities. We are not going to react to the statement made out of anger. We are not going to respond to what he said.

“We are focused on moving with our campaigns and satisfying the quest of Nigerians by building a new Nigeria where justice, equity, and egalitarianism will be the order of the day.

“We are not distracted in any way and we are not going to be distracted by responding to issues that do not even make common sense. To give spurious statements without evidence is not going to get our attention and reaction.

“We are more focused on how Atiku is going to become President. The country is in a situation that needs urgent attention. The country is not only sick but also suffering from a dreadful congenital abnormality, there is need for amelioration and correction, and that is our focus,” the Atiku spokesman said.

Governor Nyesom Wike on Friday, September 23, during an interview in Port Harcourt with selected journalists which was beamed live on Channels, NTA, AIT and TVC televisions accused the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, of having collected one billion Naira bribe from a presidential candidate in Lagos among others allegations.
