Governor Samuel Ortom Narrates How Nyesom Wike Was Treated Badly By Atiku And PDP

 

The governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom while being interviewed on Arise Tv, noted that the People's Democratic Party 's national leadership mistreated the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.

Nyesom Wike is understood to be unhappy about how the PDP's presidential primary election played out as well as how Ifeanyi Okowa was picked as Atiku's running mate at his expense.

He has in recent time been pictured with prominent politicians belonging to other Political parties including the presidential candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi, Governor of Ebonyi state, David Umahi, and the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People's Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

While speaking in an interview on Arise Tv earlier today, Samuel Ortom appealed to PDP leadership to extend hand of fellowship to Nyesom Wike who he said was treated badly.

See part of how they conversated  in that interview: 

REUBEN ABATI: What is happening in your party , we sense some silence around it . 

SAMUEL ORTOM: I was among the 17 member committee set up by Atiku and 14 of us in the committee said the person should be Wike . 

Unfortunately , Atiku  picked Okowa , that is his wisdom . 

You cannot ignore decision of a committee you set up yourself and expect people to be happy . 

For now , I have gone into hibernation. 

REUBEN ABATI: Mr . Ortom , will you support the candidature of the PDP ? 

SAMUEL ORTOM: I am in hibernation. I Am praying . When I finish the prayers and whatever God directs me , I will do . 

We expect Atiku to do more but we are not seeing that . 

RUFAI USENI: Party sources are saying that the camp of Atiku is trying to reach out to Wike but he has been ignoring their calls . 

SAMUEL ORTOM: they should stop that . 

Atiku should go to him . 

Why won’t he ignore their calls . 

Is that not an insult ? Wike is a pillar in the party . 

Currently , Nobody in the party  has contributed more for the party to move forward than Wike . 

If Atiku was not going to honour the decision of the committee, he should have called Wike earlier and informed him . He didn’t do that . 

You can’t do things anyhow and expect us to be happy ."

“Why do you just send calls to Wike, you should have to go to him,” Ortom said.

“When people left the party, Wike was on ground. It was Wike that brought me back to PDP when I was treated unjustly.

“He brought me back to PDP in 2015. You have treated Wike badly. The party and national level should go to him and appeal to him. He came second to Atiku.”
