Wike
…Says Nigerians forget things so easily
Rivers state Governor,Nyesome Wike has been speaking on how presidential candidate of opposition,People’s Democratic Party,PDP,Atiku Abubakar humiliated former president Goodluck Jonathan,then sitting President, when the later was the Presidential candidate of the PDP.
Let’s Change the Change, Atiku tells CAN
Said he,
“What I don’t like is that we forget history easily. In 2015 when Jonathan as a sitting President won his primaries, Jonathan went to London in Donchester Hotel to plead with this our presidential candidate today, Atiku Abubakar, say ‘please my brother come back to the party and support me.
“Do you know the condition they gave to Jonathan? That he should relinquish his ticket not to run as the president of Nigeria. That was a sitting President and presidential candidate of a ruling party. They gave him that condition telling him to relinquish that ticket for him not to run.
“When I see some people running around and talking rubbish, they forget history easily. Today we are not saying the presidential candidate should relinquish his ticket, we are not being selfish. We are only saying since you are now the presidential candidate, let our people take chairmanship and they say they will kill me. Is it possible?
“I challenge them. Did they not embarrass Jonathan when he was running as a sitting President? I said Donchester Hotel in London. But they said he should relinquish the ticket. Now you are not a sitting President, you are just a presidential candidate, we say hold it we will support you but let us have this one.”
..Wike spoke today when he led Ebonyi Gov Dave Umahi to inaugurate Akpabu-Omudioga-Egbeda Road constructed by his administration.
