- Atiku Abubakar’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, has accused the minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, of frustrating Peter Obi to leave the PDP for the Labour Party
- Ibe said Atiku was ready to drop his ambition if the presidential ticket would be zoned to the South East and not just the entire southern region
- However, the presidential spokesperson alleged that Wike frustrated the move knowing that he would be able to get the ticket if it was zoned to the South in general
Nyesom Wike, the minister of the FCT, has been accused of orchestrating Peter Obi’s move from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Labour Party.
Recall that Obi was the vice presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 presidential election but dumped the party for the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
