He added that he made the remark at the dinner night, which was also attended to by some new governors-elect.
The statement reads in part:
"As outgoing governors across the country prepare to leave their State Houses and transition back to private life, it is crucial that they recognize their role in being part of the solution for their successors, rather than adding to the problems.”
Both Saraki and Wike are prominent members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but the relationship between the duo cannot be said to be strong because of the internal crisis rocking the party.
