The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign office has fired back at Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, over his persistent criticism of the party's candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Atiku's campaign described Wike's behavior as "nonsensical gaffe" and likened him to a "failed Tik Tok comedian" desperately trying to amuse Nigerians with his repetitive criticisms. The campaign also accused Wike of having a "deep character flaw" and of being a "pathetically disruptive mind" that resorts to "vile verbiage and intemperate vituperations" in his attacks on Atiku.
