The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council has stated that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike will work to ensure the victory of the party’s flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the PDP campaign council’s Deputy Director, Volunteer Management, Oladimeji Fabiyi, stated this on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s 2023 Verdict.
According to Fabiyi, Wike is a strong member and a leader in the party, so he is expected to work for the victory of Atiku and other members running in the state elections.
As a result, the PDP predicted that the former Vice President would win the majority of votes in Rivers because the PDP has millions of traditional supporters in the state.
He said:
He (Wike) is still a member of the PDP and we expect that he deliver Atiku and all other candidates in that state.
He has to deliver. He is a member of PDP, he has to work for PDP. Atiku will win Rivers state in this presidential election — go and write it down. Rivers is a PDP state. We have our traditional supporters in their millions there. So, governor Wike will do the needful. We believe he will do the needful.
Remember that Wike and four other disgruntled governors of the party, dubbed the G5, are opposed to Atiku’s presidential bid.
Wike, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Samuel Ortom of Benue, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state are the G5 governors.
