Atiku’s interview with Arise was full of lies- Gov Wike, questions why Atiku has not come in person to see him to resolve their issues
Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, says the recent interview granted by PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to Arise TV was filled with lies.
In the interview, Atiku said he did not pick Wike as his running mate because he wanted someone he could work with “amicably”. On June 14, Atiku announced Okowa as his running mate. Many Nigerians had strongly believed that he was going to pick Wike who seemed to have more political clout as his running mate. However, in the interview with Arise, Atiku said he did not reject Wike but that he only chose someone he could work with amicably.
While speaking to newsmen at the international airport in Port Harcourt, Rivers capital, today July 29, Governor Wike said the PDP presidential candidate lied during his interview.
“In this part of our world, when lies are being concocted and you allow it, it becomes true fact. I have always believed that when the left speaks, allow the right to also speak. We are not getting any younger.
Since after our primaries, I have decided to be quiet because this is a party I love so much. I have not said anything. I decided to go back home to fulfill the many promises I made to the people of the state. But there comes a time that people would understand and know the true facts of things. It is not in doubt that I will speak and let Nigerians know the actual truth. Haven known the truth, whatever they decide to do with it is left for Nigerians because you can imagine, the Presiential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, when he unveiled his Vice Presidential candidate, no right thinking person will say the speech he made on that day was fair. No right thinking lover of this party. Forget about the scavengers.
Thereafter he appeared before the Arise TV. See the statements he made. So many lies were told. And then he said I should not react to some of those issues. That would not be fair.”
