At Atiku’s Backyard, Wike Tells Adamawa PDP Delegates Why He Should Be President

Presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has taken his campaign for president to the Adamawa base of his major rival, Atiku Abubakar.  

Speaking to the delegates, Governor Wike when he met them, he charged them that the PDP needs to present a winnable candidate in 2023 in order not to go into extinction.

He told the party delegates to look beyond the fact of Atiku being their leader but to subject themselves to the most probing issues of who would do best for Adamawa and Nigeria.

“God has given us (PDP) the opportunity to present me. So, on that day of primaries, my dear delegates, it is in your hands to give me the ticket.

“We must make sure that we work together for the party to win election. Whoever emerges, we will all join hands together and work for victory to come to PDP,” Wike said in assuring the delegates that it was not a do or die battle between him and Atiku over who would be president.

Governor Wike explained that he was presenting himself for the exalted office of the president of Nigeria because of his  records of success.

Acknowledging the fact of Atiku being the PDP leader in Adamawa, Wike told them that he was aware that their father  and leader is also in the race, but his love for Nigeria  and what he has accomplished are towering credentials for them to consider.

“You require a leader that is very courageous. You require a leader that is very fearless. You require a leader that has capacity.  I know one of your sons, one of your fathers, our leader  is running with me.  But, I want to appeal to you, I have the capacity to win. Don’t make mistake, I am the one to win this election. So join me now, the train is moving. Every state you go to now, you don’t hear any aspirant other than Wike.”

In his remark, the PDP chairman in Adamawa State, Tahir Shehu,  commended Governor Wike for traversing various states of the federation, including Adamawa, canvassing for votes ahead of the PDP convention next month.

Shehu expressed delight that Governor Wike has not only remained in the PDP since 1998, but has continued to sustain the party financially, morally particularly in non-PDP states.

“I call you the Field Marshal of PDP because I know how you sustain the party in the state, particularly the non-PDP states. We know what you did.”

He further added: “We are aware of your pedigree and your track record. All those that are aspiring in PDP who showcase themselves are capable and more than capable not only to ruling Nigeria, but rule the entire Africa. But please, my plead to all of you is for you to put the interest of the country first and then the interest of our party before our individual interest, because none of the part of Nigeria that has not have more than enough suffering.”
