Some governors in Atiku Abubakar’s (PDP) presidential campaign are reportedly frustrated by the slow pace of reconciliation talks with Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike and his supporters.
However, TrackNews has learned that the reconciliation teams for Atiku and Wike are considering rescheduling their meeting for Friday.
Remember that the two groups were supposed to meet on Monday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, but it was canceled due to Atiku’s obligations in Adamawa State.
Some governors in Atiku’s camp are concerned about the apparent deadlock in the talks, according to a party source who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
“This could explain why Atiku was not accompanied by the governors to Yola on Monday for a reception in his honor.”
“Aside from the host governor, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, only Atiku’s running mate, Delta State Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, attended the event.”
“Other PDP governors in his camp who should have been there stayed away,” The Nation’s source said.
Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, Alhaji Sule Lamido, Senator Ben Obi, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), and Senator Liyel Imoke are among Atiku’s reconciliation team members.
Former Ondo Governor Olusegun Mimiko, Chief David Mark, ex-Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, ex-Governor Donald Duke, and Mohammed Adoke (SAN) Soji Adeniji are among Wike’s team members.
