The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has felicitated with the Abia State Governor, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu on his birthday anniversary.
The former vice president, who is currently in Paris for a business meeting, hailed Ikpeazu in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle.
He wrote, “On behalf of my family, I join friends and well-wishers to celebrate the governor of Abia State, H.E Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu.
“May God Almighty grant you more years in good health and service to the benefit of the good people of Abia State and humanity”.
Reports that Ikpeazu and other PDP governors loyal to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike have been in a face-off with Atiku over the refusal of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu to resign.
The governors including Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Ifeanyi Ugwuani of Enugu State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and the Rivers governor have vowed to withhold their support for Atiku in the forthcoming presidential election except Ayu resigns.
