Obviously, he was uncomfortable with some comments attributed to Atiku and some of his strategists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the presidential candidate of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/04\/atiku-wike-meet-as-pdp-begins-reconciliation\/\"> PDP<\/a> was calm in managing the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sources said Atiku and Wike had been engaged in a hide and seek game over a session with the BoT<\/p>\n<p>However, BoT members have consistently pleaded with Atiku to reconcile with the Rivers governor.<\/p>\n<p>Although the two leaders got invitation letters from the board, none of them was interested in a face-to-face meeting before yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Atiku and Wike had resorted to bitter verbal exchanges and name-calling in the media in the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Their loyalists had also picked the gauntlet, with the two camps launching media attacks against each other, leading to a gradual alienation of Wike and his loyalists by the PDP leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The BoT had waded in on Wednesday, with the setting up of a reconciliation committee headed by Senator Jibrin.<\/p>\n<p>It was also gathered that party stakeholders will empanel another committee comprising nominees from the Atiku and Wike camps to resolve the differences.<\/p>\n<p>It was also learnt that whatever the committee agreed upon would be tabled before a larger meeting of stakeholders for approval and ratification.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne takeaway from the meeting is that supporters of Atiku and Wike must stop the media war with immediate effect,\u201d a party source said.<\/p>\n<p>Worried by the protracted rift, BoT members had on Wednesday met with Atiku in Abuja behind closed doors.<\/p>\n<p>A member of the BoT said: \u201cWhen the two leaders did not honour our invitation, we decided to meet with Atiku on Wednesday. We will still have an audience with Governor Wike. Our main interest is to keep the party united before we start the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtiku took time to explain to us how he is ready to work with all party leaders and governors to enable PDP to regain power in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said since 1993, he has desired to contest and win the nation\u2019s presidency without bitterness. He then asked: \u201c\u2018How can a first-time presidential aspirant be so bitter for losing the primary? What of President Muhammadu Buhari who contested four times for the office?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAtiku also revisited the primary and how it was heavily monetized by Wike, but he said he still won.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe urged the BoT members to prevail on Wike to work with him and others for the success of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said otherwise, he will go ahead with the campaign without Wike and his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also said there are other PDP leaders from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/02\/five-killed-as-cement-laden-truck-rams-into-vehicle-in-cross-river\/\">Rivers State<\/a> who have bought into his candidacy, including Abiye Sekibo, ex-Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Austin Opara, Sen. Lee Maeba and others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The source quoted Atiku as telling the BoT members that \u201cif Wike does not want to fall in line, we will go ahead with our campaign. One man alone does not make a state. Some PDP elders in the state are solidly with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cAfter all, President Buhari won the presidential election without many votes from Rivers State. He lost Rivers and still became the nation\u2019s President after winning in Lagos, Kano and other strategic states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The BOT members, however, pleaded with Atiku to \u201callow more interventions to have a united campaign structure for the party\u2019s victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Wike flew into Abuja yesterday afternoon to hold a session with his strategists before storming Gana\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n<p>But a source close to Wike\u2019s camp said it was wrong to have accused Wike of monetizing the presidential primary of the party.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe got to know all that transpired between Atiku and the BoT members. Wike did not monetise the PDP primary. Maybe, the Atiku group did. We don\u2019t know what he is saying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The source said Wike rallied his friends, supporters and associates to boost the campaign of the PDP\u2019s candidate with a huge amount in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWike has been a party man and he has never wavered in his commitment to his party\u2019s return to power in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he did it for Atiku in 2019, he will do the same this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent developments have shown that the dust over the presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the choice of Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate by its\u00a0presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has not settled.
