Atiku, in a message of felicitation, extended his congratulations to the entire Ndigbo community, as well as to Nze Ozichukwu personally, for his election and the seamless transition that heralded this pivotal moment in Igbo leadership.

Atiku  lauded the dignity and grace that accompanied Ozichukwu’s ascension to the position, while also acknowledging the immense responsibility that such a leadership role entailed.

He expressed confidence in the capacity of Ozichukwu, describing him as a man of remarkable intellect and political acumen, fully prepared to shoulder the weight of the noble office with dignity and candour.

“The Ozichukwu I know is a man of great mental fortitude, a seasoned political strategist, and a leader imbued with the virtues of wisdom and integrity,” Atiku remarked.

He further reminisced on Ozichukwu’s commendable service as the National Vice Chairman of the PDP, where his dedication and contribution helped the party foster good governance that continues to evoke fond memories among the Nigerian people.

He, however, urged Ozichukwu to lead Ohanaeze Ndigbo with a spirit of renewal and unity, fostering a dialogue that would strengthen the bonds of understanding and cooperation, while also laying the foundation for a brighter future that resonates with the hopes and dreams of the Nigerian populace.

Wike in Panic Mode, Remains PDP’s Major Problem, Says Atiku’s Aide

A member of the  Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ally of Atiku Abubakar, Hon Oladimeji Fabiyi, has described the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, as a destructive element within the main opposition political party in the country.

Fabiyi was reacting to an interview granted by a media aide to Wike, Lere Olayinka, whom Fabiyi described as “harbinger of falsehoods and malicious narratives.”

Fabiyi said contrary to the falsehood being peddled  by Olayinka, “It is obvious to every Nigerian and, indeed, faithful party members that the only man who has been the major problem of the PDP is Minister Nyesom Wike.”

Fabiyi recalled that Wike was renowned for his abrasive rhetoric when he was the governor of Rivers State.

“We are witnesses to his destructive  roles and behaviour in the local politics of Rivers State where he (Wike) was a pain in the neck of Governor Fubara-led government and the Rivers people in general.

“We have also seen his negative energies being dissipated at the federal level of governance, with a plethora of complaints about how the FCT Minister has become a terror to FCT administration and land owners in the federal capital territory.

“In the PDP, too, Wike has constituted himself to be the lord of the manor, under the subterfuge of an unimpressive acting National Chairman of the party, Amb. Damagun and few other recalcitrant NWC members to distabliise the party.”
