Wike Accuses David Mark of Rigging PDP Primaries for Atiku in 2022 Election

Former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike accused retired Brigadier General David Mark of using his 'coup-plotting' knowledge to manipulate the 2022 PDP presidential primaries in favor of Atiku Abubakar. Wike alleged that Mark conducted the process to ensure Atiku's emergence, undermining Wike's chances.

Wike claimed that other political figures, including General Ali Gusau and Aminu Tambuwal, influenced the primaries against him. The allegations suggest internal party manipulation and power plays within the PDP ahead of the presidential election.

Wike highlighted a series of strategic moves that he believes cost him the ticket, pointing fingers at key party members for orchestrating his defeat.
