"Tambuwal asserted: 'I Never Sided Against Wike'"

On a recent Friday, former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, appeared on Channels Television's Politics Today and denied accusations of betraying Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, during the 2022 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary.

Kenneth Okonkwo, former spokesperson of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, made the accusation during his own appearance on the same television programme. Okonkwo asserted that Wike is openly working against the PDP. He claimed that Wike now believes his words have become law in the PDP, a statement that has sparked much discussion within the party.

Tambuwal, however, maintained his friendship with Wike, stating that he never betrayed the former Governor, even though Wike gave him an indication that he would run for president and knew that Tambuwal was also running. Tambuwal further expressed that if Wike were to request his personal phone, he would give it to him due to their friendship.

The 2022 PDP presidential primary was a significant event in the party's history, but this statement does not reveal any new facts about either Wike or Tambuwal regarding their friendship or the primary. It is also important to note that this article does not contain any new facts about Aminu Tambuwal or Nyesom Wike regarding the 2027 PDP presidential primary.

The Peoples Democratic Party's 2027 election campaign involved collaboration between Aminu Tambuwal and Nyesom Wike amid rumours that Wike had influence over the allocation of the presidential nomination. However, specific details about the campaign's content or the nature of Wike's influence are not documented in the available sources.

In the 2022 PDP primary election, Tambuwal stepped down and supported Atiku Abubakar, leading to Abubakar becoming the party's flagbearer. Okonkwo, however, claims that the PDP has zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to Wike.
