The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has said that he would not allow Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike to pull down the party.
Recall that Wike and the PDP leadership have been at loggerheads since after he lost the presidential ticket to Atiku.
He has also recently invited members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), instead of his party men to commission projects executed by the state government.
However, Atiku through his spokesperson, Dino Melaye in an interview on ChannelsTV’s Politics Today on Friday, said neither Wike nor anyone else would not be allowed to destroy the PDP.
“Democracy is noisy and at times disagreement; but that disagreement doesn’t mean that now we are going to pull down the roof. Governor Wike will not pull down the roof of PDP; he will not do that.
“Atiku Abubakar will not allow anybody; not even Wike to pull down the roof of the PDP. I am telling you that PDP is one big reliable family. These distractions are minor things,” he said.
Melaye disclosed that there has been communication between Atiku and Wike, saying the disagreement between the two leaders would soon be resolved.
“Governor Wike has his own misgivings and he is entitled to it. He is complaining about one or two things and he is entitled to it. I am not going to get into details of what he’s complaining about; but he is aggrieved with one or two issues.
“And as I said, there has been communication between Governor Wike and Atiku Abubakar. And it has not stopped at that; they are still talking. People are over escalating the situation It’s normal,” he said.
