The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, finally met, Thursday in Abuja.
The duo who have been having a running battle since the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary met behind closed-doors at the residence member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Prof. Jerry Gana.
Atiku had defeated Wike in the Primary, but the Rivers’ governor indicated interest in being the presidential running mate, but the former VP settled for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State.
The crisis between the duo was said to have delayed Atiku’s composition of his campaign organisation.
However, the PDP BoT met over the issue between Atiku and Wike and resolved to reconcile both men.
After the Wednesday meeting of the BoT, Senator Abdul Ningi, acting secretary of the committee, told journalists that the members of the board would resolve the impasse and enable the party to present a common front during the coming elections.
Sources said that at Thursday’s meeting, which lasted for over an hour, the politicians agreed to set aside their differences and work together.
The source said they agreed that a small committee would be set up to look into areas where the camps of Wike and Atiku can work together.
The committee would then report to the panel that the BoT set up to resolve the crisis.
