“Today, the fear of Wike is the beginning of wisdom in PDP, there is no question about that. Wike is smart, he knows the game he’s playing, and what he wants to do is to force a deal with the party. That’s my own reading of the situation.
“He is a very smart politician. I’m sure eventually the party will reach an agreement with him."
Momodu sends message to Atiku
Momodu recommended that Atiku Abubakar should have a one-on-one meeting with Wike to resolve the crisis rocking the party.
He affirmed thus:
“What I would advise Atiku Abubakar to do today is to sit down one-on-one without no other person present with governor Wike and agree on deliverables, If possible, sign an agreement.”
