Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate lied to a man during a recent interview.
The governor of Rivers State said this at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Friday morning.
Wike said: “Thereafter he (Atiku) appeared before Arise Television, see the statements he made. So many lies were told”.
Recall that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar explained why he passed on Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State.
He said, “In arriving at the decision, I held wide consultations with various stakeholders in our party including our governors, the national working committee, board of trustees, and other leaders to seek their inputs and their wisdom.”
“In these consultations, I made clear that my running mate would have the potential to succeed me at a moment’s notice, that is, a president-in-waiting.
“In other words, the person must have the qualities to be President. The person must have an appreciation of the deep rot which our country has been put into by the rudderless All Progressives Congress government; understands the great suffering that most of our people are going through and the urgency of relieving them of that suffering; understands the critical importance of economic growth and development to provide our young people with jobs, hope, and a pathway to wealth.”
