A former Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to make peace with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, if he wants to win the 2023 presidential election.
Jang made the call during the flag-off of the construction of Omagwa internal roads in Rivers State.
The PDP chieftain stated further that ignoring Wike was a “wrong political move that could cost Atiku’s victory in 2023.”
“I want to call on our presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to close ranks with all members, particularly members of your (Wike) group of which I’m proudly one. Doing this will guarantee victory in 2023 general elections.

“These men and women, as I have said, worked hard to build this party and they cannot just be wished away overnight.
“We need to come together, settle our differences by recognising that you need each and every one of us for you to win the general election,” Jang said.
ThisNigeria reported that a reconciliation meeting between Wike and Atiku’s teams, which held on Friday in Port Harcourt, ended in a stalemate as they could not reach an agreement on the issues raised.
