A former governor of Ekiti, Ayo Fayose, has lent his voice to the crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating that the presidential flagbearer of the party, Atiku Abubakar, is not against Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State. 

Wike has been at the centre of calls for the party’s chairman, Iyiorcha Ayu’s resignation. The feud between the duo has deepened despite the stepping down of Board of Trustees Chairman (Bot), Walid Jibrin. The National Executive Council of the PDP also passed a vote of confidence in Senator Ayu, further infuriating Wike.

But Fayose claimed that the supposed feud between the two was propelled by enemies wanting friction in the party, maintaining that Atiku and Wike are in no way against each other.
