• Earlier, PDP presidential flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar maintained that he and the leadership of the party has moved on, away from the internal crisis

• In reaction, Festus Keyamo lambasted the opposition party, noting Wike's absence is a warning signal for Nigerians not to ignore in the 2023 elections

Festus Keyamo, on Monday night, October 10, said Nigerians should see the absence of Governor Nyesom Wike and his loyalists at the official launch of PDP’s presidential campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, as a warning signal.

The spokesperson of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council maintained that he found the presence of the embattled national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, on the podium promising the PDP will change the fortune of the country a 'huge joke'.
