Wike expresses sadness over Atiku’s comments on Yoruba, Igbo presidency

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has expressed deep sadness over the comments made by the Presidential candidate of his party the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Atiku Abubakar who had at the weekend stated that only a Northern presidency is desirable, and that Nigerians don’t need a Yoruba or Igbo to become President.

Governor Wike says the comment, which is coming at a time the country is urgently in need of unity clearly goes to show why the people in Atiku Abubakar’s camp do not want the National Chairman of the PDP to resign, because they do not want equity, justice and inclusivity in the party.

Speaking when he returned from a trip abroad, Governor Wike says as a party that wants to win the trust of Nigerians and win the next general elections, PDP must apologise to Nigerians for the utterances made by the presidential candidate.
