According to them, these individuals have been the ones fabricating reports that the Rivers governor had pulled down the PDP flags in the state's government's house and filed an alleged suit against Atiku.

False claims by PDP detractors

Noting that these claims are all lies, Messers Mohammed Abidemi and Okafor said it is sad that someone like Governor Wike who has kept the PDP running for years is now being ridiculed and somewhat alienated by a few party leaders who never ventured to make a tiny fraction of such personal sacrifices.

Their words:

“Where was our chairman, Ayu when PDP was going through major turbulence which Governor Wike and others addressed headlong but his foxy leadership, hasty and not well thought out decisions fosters divisiveness.
“Unconcerned by the bad performance of our great party in their respective states, leaders like former governors of Niger and Jigawa states, Dr . Babangida Aliyu and Alhaji Sule Lamido have gone ahead to make various uncomplimentary statements about the person of Governor Wike."
“Since 2015, why has the PDP been unable to record any significant victory in both Niger and Jigawa states where these pontificating party leaders came from and in what way is their being among the party’s greatest beneficiaries yielding any significant dividend for PDP in their respective states today?”

Warning that a stitch in time saves nine, the PDP Frontliners Atiku needs to stop listening to deceivers, urgently address murmurings and halt growing disenchantment being generated over the perceived short-changing of Governor Wike.
