'If OfficialPDPNig fails to recognise that these seemingly little steps have dire consequences for its effort to regain office, particularly in 2023, the party may find itself staying much longer out of the presidential villa.'
Despite its complacency, the Peoples Democratic Party remains the leading and staunchest opposition party in Nigeria today. It may lose that preeminent position sometime in the future, but today, it is a leader in the opposition.
Mr Wike has defended himself, howbeit not convincingly, insisting that COVID-19 re-enacts a war situation requiring urgent and extraordinary measures fitting for wartime. He has not provided sound basis for his actions or beliefs, but this has not dissuaded him from peremptorily taking countermeasures which he says are indispensable to these times.
In recent years, Mr Wike exercised inordinate power and influence in his party, up to the point of nearly enthroning a presidential candidate. Having wielded such influence, and having deftly won the party chairman, the gentle Uche Secondus, to his side, it is uncertain that anyone within the party could raise his voice against the Rivers governor.
