PDP Governors Associating With Wike Are Traitors — Atiku’s Aide

An aide to former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has pointed fingers at state governors as the root of the party’s ongoing problems.

Demola Olarewaju, Atiku’s Special Assistant on Digital Media and Strategy, took to social media platform X to express his concerns, stating that any state governor associating with Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike is a traitor to the PDP.

According to Olarewaju, “Wike’s entire relevance in Nigeria’s political space is directly dependent on his ability to rock PDP’s boat and make it less formidable.

“Any governor associating with him is a traitor in PDP and I’ll even go further and say: Governors are the root of PDP crises since 2015.

“You can trace every major crisis in PDP to the ‘zoning’ of NWC offices to individual governors ever since the party lost Aso Rock and some of us saw it coming in 2015.

“The current tensions may or may not abate and nationalists must be tactically flexible about party platforms.”

Naija News understands that Olarewaju’s claim comes amidst division between PDP Governors over the leadership of the party’s structure in Rivers State.

As some of this Governors are for Governor Siminalayi Fubara, while others are for Wike.
