PDP crisis deepens as Wike’s group pulls out of Atiku’s campaign council

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is getting more difficult to resolve as Nyesom Wike’s camp reportedly pulled out of the campaign council of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

This development came up early morning in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Wednesday, September 21, 2022. 

According to ThePunch, members of the Rivers State Governor’s team vowed not to play any role in Atiku’s campaign ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Wike’s team vowed that the National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, must resign for them to rescind their decision.

Recall that in May, following the outcome of the party’s presidential primary, the Rivers Governor called for Ayu’s resignation as a condition for resolving the crisis rocking the party.
