Unmasked personality supporting Atiku in presidency, Tinubu group replies Gov. Wike

Emmanuel Adigwe reports

A support group, the Tinubu-Shettima Ambassadors (TSA) has tasked Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike to reveal the name of the presidential aide supporting the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

It could be recalled that Governor Wike had claimed that Atiku and the National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, are arrogant because someone in the presidency is supporting them.

Speaking last Thursday in Port Harcourt, Wike stated that Ayu refused to keep to his promise to resign as he was enjoying presidential support.

He however assured that he will reveal the identity of the person in the Presidency backing Atiku and Ayu.

Reacting to this development, on Sunday, the Director General of TSA, Oyelude Oladele, while speaking with reporters, enjoined Wike to expose the mole in the presidency supporting both Atiku and Ayu.

Oladele stated that it was funny that a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the presidency could be backing Atiku without putting into cognizance the interest of the ruling party.

He said: “We, as a support group of the APC, appeal to Governor Wike to unmask the person in the presidency that’s backing the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar against southern interest.

“Nigerians must reject the PDP and her presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as it is very visible that they are coming with regional sentiment and political deception.”

Also, former Ekiti governor, Ayo Fayose has stated that Wike has his total support concerning the current crisis rocking the PDP.
