“Whereas Wike demanded for a video or photo evidence of him and his co-travelers with political opponents of the PDP during their inglorious London meeting, it would be nice to subject the same Wike to the same standard of proof in showing evidence of what happened between Atiku and Obasanjo in 2003.
“Governor Wike cannot be rendering accounts of event that he is not eye-witness to, and which he, at that time, was distant from the theater of happenings at national politics.
“It is also shameful that Wike, in justifying his macabre conduct, seeks to desecrate the memory of late Chief Tony Anenih.
“Chief Anenih remained a close ally of Atiku Abubakar up to his last moment. Beyond that, the relationship between the Anenih political dynasty and that of Atiku remains cordial till date.
“It is therefore deserving that Wike renders an apology to President Olusegun Obasanjo,Vice President Atiku and the Anenih family.”
