2023: PDP can’t win presidential election without me, four other governors –– Wike
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has boasted that the Peoples Democratic Party would not win the 2023 general elections without his involvement and those of four other governors from southern Nigeria.The PDP has been enmeshed in leadership crisis since the party’s primary where Nigeria’s former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, defeated Mr Wike and other aspirants to emerge the party’s presidential candidate.
But the party leadership has refused to accede to Mr Wike’s demands, fueling speculations that the Rivers governor could defect to another political party ahead of the elections. “If I leave the party today, PDP cannot win the elections. They can’t win any of their polling units if we, the five governors, today, say we are leaving this party. We are not just ordinary governors. We are very formidable, very strong,” he said.
