Former Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang, has called on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to close ranks with Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike of if he wants to win the 2023 election.
Wike and Atiku have been at war since the conclusion of PDP presidential primaries after the former vice president picked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate.
Reacting to the face-off, Jang cautioned Atiku against ignoring Wike.
Jang said ignoring Wike’s team was a wrong political move that wouldn’t guarantee Atiku’s victory in 2023.
He stated this during the flag-off of the construction of Omagwa internal roads in Rivers State.
He said, “I want to call on our presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to close ranks with all members, particularly members of your (Wike) group of which I’m proudly one. Doing this will guarantee victory in 2023 general elections.
“These men and women, as I have said, worked hard to build this party and they cannot just be wished away overnight.
“We need to come together, settle our differences by recognising that you need each and every one of us for you to win the general election.”
