PDP Campaign Council Denies Suspending Campaign To Woo Wike
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council has denied suspending its impending campaign rallies in order to find a solution to the lingering crisis in the party.
There were reports about the party suspending its rallies in order to broker a truce between between its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike.
However, in his reaction, the Director of Strategic Communications, Dele Momodu debunked the claims.
The spokesperson confirmed that the party’s campaign, which commenced this week in Akwa Ibom’s capital Uyo, was on course.
“Absolute falsehood…unlike the APC which is yet to put its act together, our Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council has taken off at supersonic speed. See you soon in Kaduna by God’s grace,” Momodu said.
It was claimed the rallies were suspended at the instance of Atiku who was said to have dispatched three PDP stalwarts to speak with Wike.
The mediators are reportedly ex- Senate President David Mark, former Rivers Governor Peter Odili and former Delta Governor James Ibori.
