PDP Crisis: You are a Toxic, Bad Loser – Atiku Replies Wike

PDP Crisis: You are a Toxic, Bad Loser – Atiku Replies Wike

By Ozumi Abdul

The Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has accused Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, of acting like a failed Tik Tok comedian in the way he has been criticising him and the party.

Atiku said this while reacting to comments by Wike on the endorsement of Peter Obi of Labour Party by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Wike had mocked Atiku for his failure to get Obasanjo’s endorsement, saying the fact that his principal didn’t endorse him meant Atiku was not fit for the highest office in the land.

The Rivers State Governor who is leading a group of five PDP governors opposed to the presidential ambition of Atiku under a coalition called G5 had been critical of Atiku who defeated him in the battle for the presidential ticket of the party.

But as if saying ‘enough is enough’ Atiku, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, said: “Wike dances like a village masquerade on live television everyday with the same boring moves in his criticism of Atiku.”

“He acts like a failed Tik Tok comedian desperately trying to amuse Nigerians with the same platitudes just because he lost the primary and also failed to emerge as the vice presidential candidate of the PDP.

“His constant weeping is like the blubbering of an infant taken off his mother’s breast. Wike’s cacophonous cry of hurt and inconsolable thrashing will never end even if the proverbial breast is put back in his mouth.

“At every turn of event, Atiku’s campaign maintained that Wike comes forth with new episodes of his dramatic performances, noting that what is common to all his acts is that his vile verbiage and intemperate vituperations are symptomatic of a pathetically disruptive mind with a deep character flaw.

“In his latest attempt to mock Waziri Atiku Abubakar after former President Olusegun Obasanjo decided to endorse former Governor Peter Obi, Wike again shot himself in the foot.

“According to the cantankerous and loquacious governor, the decision of Obasanjo to support Obi is evidence that Atiku is unfit for the presidency.

“Going by Wike’s flawed logic, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s refusal to support his Vice President, William Ruto, meant that Ruto was unfit for office. The great people of Kenya, however, do not think in a flawed manner like Wike,” the statement read in part.
