We’re not suspending our campaign because of Wike, says PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PDP) has denied suspending its rallies because of the crisis in the party linked to the group of Governor Nyesome Wike of Rivers State.
Reports had stated that the party was suspending its campaign flagged off recently at Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, over the disagreement between the presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and Governor Wike.
But the Director of Strategic Communications, Dele Momodu, called the stories fake, stressing that the party’s campaign, which commenced this week in Akwa Ibom’s capital Uyo, was on course.
“Absolute falsehood…unlike the APC which is yet to put its act together, our Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council has taken off at supersonic speed. See you soon in Kaduna by God’s grace,” Momodu said.
It was claimed the rallies were suspended at the instance of Atiku who was said to have dispatched three PDP stalwarts to speak with Wike.
The mediators are reportedly ex-Senate President David Mark, former Rivers Governor Peter Odili and former Delta Governor James Ibori.
