Atiku and Wike who were political allies broke ties after the former emerged as the opposition party's presidential flagbearer for 2023.
The situation got worse between both politicians when Iyorchia Ayu refused to step down as the party's national chairman, a development which has divided the PDP.
But this message from Atiku is good for the time when the PDP's leadership is making efforts to unite its aggrieved members, especially members of the Integrity Group which Wike belongs to.
