Wike aiding Atiku’s popularity in the north’ – Reno Omokri
A former aide of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has said the reason why northerners are behind the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, is a result of the provocations from Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
Omokri, in a post on his social media handles, said how Atiku responded to Wike’s provocation has been the major thing that galvanized the North behind Atiku. According to Omokri, Atiku has been able to hold his peace instead of replying to Wike, no matter the insult he threw at him.
He explained that Wike’s attacks on Atiku have made the former Vice President more popular in the North, having been able to keep a cool head despite the barrage of insults from Gov Wike. Newscrescent recalls that Wike has been leading a team of five aggrieved governors of the PDP, known as the G-5, against the presidential candidate of their party.
