Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, has disclosed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) needs to apologise to Nigerians over the recent comments of Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate.
In a statement issued by Kelvin Ebiri, Wike’s spokesperson, the governor spoke on Monday at the Omagwa international airport in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, when he returned from Spain.
While speaking in an interactive session of the Arewa townhall policy dialogue in Kaduna over the weekend, the former vice-president said northerners need a president who hails from the north — and not someone from an Igbo or Yoruba extraction.
Abubakar’s remarks have elicited backlash from Nigerians and political groups, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) saying he is desperate and not fit to be in charge of the country.
Wike who said he found the statement hard to believe, said if true, the PDP needs to apologise to Nigerians.
