No Matter The Intimidation From Wike, I Will Be Next Nigerian President – Atiku Tells Wike After Sealing His Campaign Office

The presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has made his stance known to the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike following the sealing of his campaign office in Rivers State.

Atiku who has been at a loggerhead with the Rivers State governor since his emergence as party standard bearer had his campaign office sealed on the executive order 21 and 22 by the governor on Friday.

RovingNaija News had earlier reported that the governor reportedly approached the state high court to seal the campaign office, saying it was cited within the residential area against the law of the state.

The office was said to have been shut for producing noisy political activities in residential areas without approval from the State government.

But reacting through his Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said the action will not deter him.

“Let me say this, whether the cock crows or not, the sun will rise. Atiku Abubakar will be President by the Special grace of God,” Vangaurd quotes Shaibu as saying.

Over the past months, five PDP governors — Wike, Samuel Ortom of Benue, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu — have been at the forefront of calls for Iyorchia Ayu to resign as the party’s chairman.

The call for Ayu’s resignation, according to the PDP stakeholders, is that the party’s presidential candidate and national chairman cannot be from the same region.

However, Ayu has maintained that he will not resign.

Amid the crisis, Wike and his allies pulled out of the PDP presidential campaign council.
