The rift between Atiku and Wike started after the governor’s desire of becoming the party’s vice-presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections failed following the emergence of the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, as Atiku’s running mate.

“Reconciliation is ongoing. We’ve gone extremely far on it. We have made tremendous progress,” Melaye told Punch in an interview published on Saturday.

“Wike actually is a distinguished member of our party. He is a strong pillar of our party and I can assure you that he will work and support the candidature of Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.”
