The presidential candidate for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, on Monday visited Nyesom Wike, at the governor’s Asokoro residence at about 10 a.m.
During his visit, Abubakar solicited the governor’s support as he noted that they all have the All Progressive Congress, APC as a common enemy
He stressed the need for everyone to work together as one to unseat the ruling party and put all the events of the convention behind them to achieve this goal.
In his response, Wike pledged to keep to his word of firmly supporting whoever wins the ticket.
He maintained that he is “a party man who has been in the party since 1998” and will continue to work for, and remain loyal to the party.
While he assured that he is “going nowhere”, the governor urged Mr Abubakar to learn his lessons from the 2019 elections where governors had promised the support of their states and eventually did not deliver.
Abubakar’s visit comes hours after he paid a similar courtesy call to Tambuwal.
