Jonathan was humiliated by Atiku in 2015 - Wike alleges

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has recalled how the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar humiliated former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

Wike said when Atiku left the PDP, Jonathan, the sitting President, who was the candidate of the party, went to Dorchester Hotel in London and begged Atiku to return to the party to support him.

“But Atiku gave Jonathan a condition that he must relinquish the ticket of the party,” he said wondering why people forget history easily.

The Rivers State Governor and Atiku Abubakar has not been best of friends since the latter became presidential flagbearer of the PDP for the 2023 presidential election.

Governor Wike had insisted that the presidency for the 2023 general elections should be zoned to the southern part of the country.
