PDP Crisis: Atiku welcomes Wike’s peace overtures

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday welcomed reports that Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers was favourably disposed to the resolution of the party’s internal rift.

Abubakar said this in a statement by his Media Aide, Paul Ibe, in Abuja, expressing his commitment to a negotiation that would resolve the crisis and pave the way for a much more robust and united PDP.

He enjoined every party leader and his supporters, irrespective of leanings, to be open-minded and support resolving the extant issues.
