Wike-Atiku’s rift: Mass defection looms in PDP as Jerry Gana threatens to leave party
Meanwhile, it was reported by Legit.ng that unless Atiku and Wike sheath their swords and embrace peace, the PDP will witness an exodus of its members ahead of the 2023 general election.
A former minister of information and leader of the Wike reconciliation camp, Professor Jerry Gana, warned that if the crisis in the party is not resolved, the governor, himself, and others would move out of the party.
Legit.ng gathered that while speaking while commissioning a project in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, Gana, however, called on Nigerians not to waste their votes for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), because they have failed Nigerians woefully.
He said:
“We want to assure you that the problems with the PDP, we shall resolve them and if it doesn’t resolve, this leader, the governor here, together with all of us, we shall tell the people of Nigeria where to go. They are not babies.
“Don’t make the mistake of wasting your vote to go to the other side. You know who I mean. They have failed woefully, embarrassingly failed, therefore don’t even go there."
