The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PDP) has denied rumours making rounds that the party has suspended its presidential campaign.
There were reports that the main opposition has suspended its campaign, temporarily, over the protracted misunderstanding between the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Rivers state’s governor, who was also an aspirant, Hon. Barr. Nyesom Wike.
In his reaction, the Director of Strategic Communications, Dele Momodu called the stories falsehood.
The spokesperson confirmed that the party’s campaign, which commenced this week in Akwa Ibom’s capital Uyo, was on course.
“Absolute falsehood…unlike the APC which is yet to put its act together, our Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council has taken off at supersonic speed. See you soon in Kaduna by God’s grace,” Momodu said.
It was claimed the rallies were suspended at the instance of Atiku who was said to have dispatched three PDP stalwarts to speak with Wike.
The mediators are reportedly ex-Senate President David Mark, former Rivers Governor Peter Odili and former Delta Governor James Ibori.
