Nyesom Wike has given a hint about discarding Atiku Abubakar and his camp from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Rivers state governor and the PDP presidential candidate have been against each other regarding the demands of the G-5 governors in the party.

Wike refused to pledge his support for Atiku during the presidential election and it backfired on the Adamawa state politician who led to his defeat in the presidential polls.

During the inauguration of the 10-kilometre road constructed by Wike’s administration in Igwu Igwuruta, Ikwerre local government area, he disclosed that Atiku and his caucus will no longer be a member of the PDP when the process of rebuilding the party starts.

He said: “We have finished the first phase of the war. We are going to the second phase of the war. In the second phase of the war, we must chase out the buccaneers and vampires. We are going to chase them out of the party, take our party and rebuild our party. 

“These people left our party in 2014/2015 and our party lost in the election. Again, they have come back, our party has lost again. They have destroyed our party. We are going to chase them out of our party. They have no role to play in our party.”
