Reactions Trail Atiku’s Visit To Wike, Tambuwal, Saraki

Reactions have trailed the visit of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, to his fellow contestants at the just-concluded primary election of the opposition party.

Ezenwoko’s Blog earlier reported that Atiku visited the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, at his Abuja residence on Monday, two days after emerging as the 2022 PDP flagbearer.

It was learned that Atiku met with Wike as part of the reconciliation move for the party, to give the PDP a better chance in the 2023 presidential election against the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The reconciliation meeting was also attended by former Ekiti State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Ayodele Fayose, amongst other PDP chieftains.

The former Vice President also visited Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki at their homes in Abuja.

Atiku was accompanied by former Kogi Senator, Dino Melaye, and former PDP Vice Chairman (South), Dan Orbih, amongst others.

Following the visit, some Nigerians took to Twitter to share their views regarding the development and the chances of PDP winning the 2023 presidential election.

See some of the reactions below.

But just pray APC don’t bring GOODLUCK Jonathan in overnight. Because if they decide to make GEJ overnight consensus flag bearer then you will lose the election. TINUBU can never defeat you.”

@OnaOchibs wrote: “Hate him, like him, Wike is a force everywhere not just in PDP but a threat to d entire APC, he’s unshakable.

“Atiku Abubakar on d other hand is a complete gentleman, a political juggernaut, a leader, a unifier like him, hate him he’ll achieve what he wants. PDP is a strong party.”

@Frankchidera123 wrote: “The man with a LION heart Mr Atiku Abubakar you will rule this country by the special grace of God. Amen.”

@ikpe_nyong wrote: “How I wish they’ll be a time Atiku works for other candidates rather than telling people to unite and work for him, as they did in 2019 and here again.

If unfortunately, you don’t win, you’ll fly to Dubai and come back in 2026 just to demand the ticket and others to work for you.”

@honourableTunla wrote: “Please find a way to reunite with Peter Obi and Kwankwaso. They might be under new parties but they still belong to PDP.

“They have a role to play on the path to PDP victory in 2023. Maintain a good political relationship and strike a good deal.”
