On Thursday, the aggrieved governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and the party's presidential nominee, Atiku Abubakar, met behind closed doors in Abuja. This meeting took place almost two months after the presidential primaries of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
Sources within the PDP stated that the meeting between Atiku and Wike was held at the residence of a former Minister of Information and National Orientation, Professor Jerry Gana, signaling what observers believed to be reconciliatory moves to pacify the governor. Although the details of the meeting were still sketchy as of the time of this report, the PDP sources stated that the meeting between Atiku and Wike was held at the residence of a former Minister of Information and National Orientation.
It was reported by the source that Atiku and Wike had a meeting at the home of Jerry Gana on Thursday afternoon. From what I gathered, the meeting turned out to be really successful.
They engage in light conversation and come to the decision that they will go to the next stage of the reconciliation process.
When asked if it is safe to presume that Wike and Atiku have reached a settlement, the source responded by saying that "they have started the process; this started with a one-on-one interaction."
This will bring them to a particular level, at which point they will be able to solve all of the problems.
According to the source, the selection process for the Director-General of the Atiku Campaign Organization was also said to be something that was still being discussed.
When reached, Paul Ibe, who serves as Atiku's Media Adviser, denied to respond.
