An aide to former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has attributed the problem in the party to governors.
Demola Olarewaju, who is Atiku Abubakar’s Special Assistant on Digital Media and Strategy, posted on X that any state governor associating with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike is a traitor in PDP.
According to Olarewaju: “Wike’s entire relevance in Nigeria’s political space is directly dependent on his ability to rock PDP’s boat and make it less formidable.
“Any governor associating with him is a traitor in PDP and I’ll even go further and say: Governors are the root of PDP crises since 2015.
“You can trace every major crisis in PDP to the ‘zoning’ of NWC offices to individual governors ever since the party lost Aso Rock and some of us saw it coming in 2015.
“The current tensions may or may not abate and nationalists must be tactically flexible about party platforms.”
