Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said, contrary to insinuations in some quarters, that he had met with Governor Nyesom Wike five times in attempts to settle the party’s leadership crisis.
Atiku made the revelation at Channels TV town hall meeting on Sunday, monitored by Vanguard.
He equally condemned the May 13 lynching of Deborah Samuel by religious extremists in a school in Sokoto, for alleged blasphemy.
Atiku also explained why he deleted a tweet on the matter a day later.
On the PDP crisis, he said contrary to speculations in some quarters, he had held no less than five face-to-face meetings with Wike.
“I have met with Wike two times in Abuja, two times in Port Harcourt and once in London personally,” Atiku explained.
Atiku absolved himself of blame that the issues were yet to be amicably resolved, saying he was still waiting for “the other side”.
