In a bid to reconcile all the flanks after the convention, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, met with Governor Nyesom Wike in Abuja.
It was also learned that consultations are going on within the party to ensure every aspirant rallied around Atiku to guarantee the ultimate prize in 2023.
Atiku had defeated Wike at the party’s presidential primary in Abuja on Saturday night.
The Monday meeting was to reconcile the two party chieftains and ensure all hands are on deck in preparation for who emerges as APC’s standard bearer.
Wike while speaking before the commencement of voting had said he would support any candidate that emerges.
But he was conspicuously absent from the stage when Atiku was giving his acceptance speech.
The meeting was also attended by former Ekiti State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Ayodele Fayose, amongst other PDP chieftains.
During the PDP presidential primary held at the Moshood Abiola Stadium on Saturday, Atiku polled 371 votes to defeat Wike, who got 237 votes; a former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, 70 votes; the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel Udom, 38 votes; the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, 20 votes; a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, 14 votes and an ex-President of Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, Sam Ohuabunwa, one vote.
