PDP crisis: Wike, Ortom, others go northward to woo Governor Bala Mohammed
Recall that Wike and some of his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) colleagues paid a visit to Bala Mohammed, the governor of Bauchi state, on Wednesday, November 9.
Wike was accompanied to Bauchi by Samuel Ortom, Okezie Ikpeazu, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
The suspicion is that Wike is planning to woo the northern governor (known to be Atiku Abubakar's ally) to his camp.
Wike and the rest were said to be capitalising on the perceived rift between Mohammed and Atiku.

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.
