PDP crisis: More trouble for Atiku as Governor Mohammed threatens to leave his camp
The crisis rocking the PDP took another dimension as Mohammed threatened to leave the camp of Atiku.
Mohammed claimed that alleged intelligence showed that Atiku does not support his second-term ambition.
The aggrieved governor also alleged he did not have the free hand to manage the party's presidential campaign in the northeast.
Mohammed also complained that the former vice president has some disdain for him, adding that of all the presidential aspirants, he was the only one Atiku did not approach for rapprochement and reconciliation.
It was also gathered that the governor has been passive to the PDP presidential campaign council, though he was appointed as the northeast deputy chairman of the council.
