“We did national convention. The highest gathering of decision making of the PDP chose Atiku. Wike contested and lost. Wike is a responsible and committed man but there is some youthful exuberance in him.

“There are people that are inciting him but the deed has been done and this did not start now. It happened with Peter Odili, it happened with Osinbajo. He should learn a lesson from them.”

“It is not a crime to have internal friction in politics. What is important is to have people with wisdom, competent people to solve the problem. PDP members should be at ease we wont disappoint them, everything will be resolved.”

 

On claims of him being nepotistic after his son emerged as governorship candidate of the opposition party in Jigawa state, he asked why some people are upset with him for loving his son.
