Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the People’ s Democratic Party (PDP), has come under fire from Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for his criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari. Wike has called Abubakar out on his comments.
Atiku criticized Buhari for the lopsided appointments made by his government.
Wike challenged Atiku to stop deceiving Nigerians and asked him to explain why he had been silent for the past seven years.
Atiku had earlier criticized the government of Buhari for his biased appointment of individuals in the country’ s security architecture.
Atiku promised that all regions of the country would participate in the government if he was elected president.
Atiku pointed out that over 17 of the heads of security agencies under the administration of Buhari are from the North.
On the other hand, Governor Wike dismissed Atiku’ s comment on Thursday in Port Harcourt.
Wike said: ” When I hear people go to town hall meetings and they say all kinds of things they say. They say ” I will implement restructuring, they will make sure every zone will have a member in the security council, that it is not good for one zone to produce all the security chiefs.
” Why are Nigerians so gullible that anything they hear they take? If you want to say I will implement this or do this, I will say okay this one you have now start from here. If you cannot do this one, can you do the other one when you are there?
