Atiku contested the election against Wike, Saraki, Tambuwal and 10 other aspirants.
Despite his promise to support whoever wins the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential primaries, Governor Nyesom Wike has yet to congratulate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who won the primary election.
Atiku who was the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2019 presidential election clinched the party’s ticket again on Saturday, May 28, 2022, following the party’s convention held at Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.
Atiku contested the election against Wike, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and 10 other aspirants.
But a few minutes before delegates were about to start casting their votes, Tambuwal withdrew from the primary election and endorsed Atiku.
