The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has described Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike as the Jagaban of the party.
This is coming amidst crisis within the opposition party following Atiku’s selection of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as his running mate.
The former Vice-president said he holds Wike in high esteem, stressing that he is a man of revolution.
He stated this through the spokesperson of his presidential campaign, Segun Sowunmi, on Arise Television.
According to him: “Wike is our own Jagaban; how do you explain a governor being able to keep other governors in line? One thing you can’t deny him is that he has the ability to say it as it is. He will not bend or colour things.
“Atiku holds Wike in high esteem, time and space may not bring them together, but he does. Wike is a man of revolution; he is one of the totems of PDP,”
