BENUE STATE GOVERNOR, SAMUEL ORTOM HAS URGED THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) TO GO TO RIVERS STATE GOVERNOR, NYESOM WIKE, AND APPEAL TO HIM.
ACCORDING TO HIM THE PDP HAS TREATED WIKE, WHO IS A FORMER PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT OF THE PARTY, BADLY.
HE SAID WIKE HAS RECONCILED MANY AGGRIEVED PEOPLE BACK TO THE PARTY, SAYING IT WAS WIKE WHO BROUGHT HIM BACK TO THE PDP IN 2015 WHEN HE WAS TREATED UNJUSTLY.
IT WOULD BE RECALLED THAT ATIKU HAD SECURED THE PRESIDENTIAL TICKET OF THE PDP ON MAY 28, DEFEATING THE GOVERNOR OF RIVERS STATE, NYESOM WIKE, WHO HAS SINCE ACCUSED STAKEHOLDERS OF HIS PARTY IN THE SOUTH OF BETRAYAL.
