Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has hit back at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, branding him a liar.

Wike had said recently that he would expose Atiku over what transpired during the PDP’s primary election.

Atiku had during an interview on Arise TV said he chose Governor Ifeanyi Okowa ahead of Wike because he felt he was better for him.

But on Friday, Wike, who spoke at the Port Harcourt International Airport, said the interview Atiku granted on Arise TV was full of lies.

“Thereafter he appeared before Arise Television, see the statements he made. So many lies were told.

“Atiku Abubakar told so many lies on Arise Television that I can’t leave unchallenged. I will react to those lies made by him and his attack dogs line by line. At the end Nigeria will know who love this country and who does not,” he said.

Wike said he had decided to be quiet because PDP was a party that he loved so much.

“I have moved on to conclude my social contract with the people of Rivers. However, it is time to let Nigerians know the truth.

“I am not a slave and will not be a slave. I am freeborn of the country,” Wike said
