The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, will not work with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, despite his assistance in securing the presidency.

On Wednesday, speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, in Abuja, Atiku lamented the fact that the Rivers State Governor had successfully duped four of his G-5 colleagues into committing political suicide.

He claimed Wike duped Governors Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu, and Samuel Ortom of Benue into supporting his actions.

Shaibu claimed that Wike’s DNA included betrayal, hypocrisy, and deception, which was why he had lost relevance outside of Rivers State and had become nothing more than a bull in a china shop.

The aide’s statement was in response to a statement by the Rivers State Government wherein it warned Atiku to “caution his attack dogs”.

He insisted that even with his support, Tinubu would not abandon Wike because the Rivers Governor is a snake.

He said;

Governor Wike’s claim that he opposed Atiku for the sake of fairness is like a prostitute claiming to be in business in order to feed the poor. No one believes his lies anymore including those he pays to attend his sponsored events where he entertains them with horrible dance steps.

Wike invited Peter Obi to Port Harcourt under the guise of commissioning projects only for him to work against the same Obi and then goes around to call Obi the hero of the election. This is obviously a shameless man who takes Nigerians for fools.

Wike is a snake and that is why even after helping Tinubu to a dubious victory in Rivers State, even Tinubu cannot invite him to the dinner table because a snake is not the kind of animal you can invite into your home. Such animals cannot be domesticated.
