Spurred by the recent outburst by some aggrieved party members, the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, and its presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar said they are taking action to calm
frayed nerves within the party.
The PDP presidential candidate and former vice president said he was
not taking any member of the party for granted as the unity of the party
remains his priority ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Atiku was reacting to separate outbursts by two party chieftains, Benue
State governor, Samuel Ortom and former Ekiti State governor, Ayo
Fayose, bothering on their support for the party’s presidential prospects
in 2023.
While Ortom hinged his grouse on Atiku’s handling of the Delta State
governor, Ifeanyi Okowa,’s emergence as the PDP presidential running
mate, Fayose, declared that it was the turn of the South to produce the
president.
