…Doubts APC’s readiness to hand over power
Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has predicted that there would be disagreements in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), over which part of the country will produce the party’s presidential candidate in 2023.
This is as he said that the presidential candidate of the PDP must be someone who will be ready to confront the All Progressives Congress, (APC), even as he doubts the readiness of the ruling party to hand over power in 2023.
Wike, who spoke yesterday, during a live television programme monitored by our correspondent in Port Harcourt, vowed never to support any presidential aspirant that is not prepared to confront the APC.
The governor said, “The fact that the PDP national chairman came from the North and the one that just left came from the South; that does not in any way mean that we have chosen where our presidential candidate will come from.
“We will choose a candidate that is prepared to face the All Progressives Congress and their government. We are praying to God to help us, guide us to arrive at that choice. But that does not mean in arriving at this, there won’t be turbulence. There are two types of turbulence; the one that leads to a crash and the one that you pass through and it does not lead to a crash. Our own turbulence will not lead to a crash because we will come out of it, but APC’s turbulence will lead to crash”, Wike stated.
