Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, and his archrival, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, attended its national caucus meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, April 17.
The meeting comes ahead of the party’s National Executive Committee meeting, scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 18.
This is the first time that the former Rivers state governor will be attending a meeting of the PDP since the presidential election last year.
Wike has been at loggerheads with the PDP leadership and did not support the party’s candidate, Atiku, in the 2023 presidential election.
Apart from his opposition to Atiku’s campaign in the election, Wike’s decision to serve in the President Bola Tinubu cabinet, had worsened the rift between him and key stakeholders in the part.
Critical decisions regarding the leadership of the party and other issues such as Wike’s activities in the party will he discussed at the NEC meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
