Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has berated the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar claiming he insulted his Rivers state counterpart Nyesom Wike over issues bothering on the vice presidential slot.
Ortom made his position known while granting interview on Arise TV .
The Benue born politician stressed that it was an insult for Atiku to send emissaries to Wike, who was runner-up in the party’s presidential primaries.
The governor criticized Atiku for not reaching out to Wike personally instead of sending people to him.
Ortom said: “It’s an insult for Atiku Abubakar to send people to a powerful mobiliser like Wike.
“Atiku offended Wike. It is an insult for Atiku to send people to call Wike.
“Atiku and the leadership of the party at all levels must visit him, Wike is a strong pillar in PDP.”
“Why can’t Atiku visit Wike personally?”
