Chairman, League of Patriotic Lawyers, Abubakar Yesufu, has urged the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former vice-president Atiku Abubakar, to pick Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, as his running mate.
He explained that the choice of Wike would brighten the chances of the party at the poll. His words: I want to hail the choice of Wazirin Adamawa, Abubakar Atiku. We call on him to proceed and pick Nyesom Wike as his running mate for a robust ticket.
The choice will calm frayed nerves and act as the suitable balm to whatsoever conspiracy or gang-up theory that is being peddled by pundits. Other than Nyesom Wikes showing at the keenly contested competition, he has consistently shown his love for his party by ensuring that it remains relevant in times of adversity for seven years.
“Atiku Abubakar had attested to Nyesom Wikes pivotal role in upholding the virtues of the party a week ago. Wikes developmental strides in Rivers State that earned him the name, Mr. Project by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, is an eloquent testimony to his fitness for the role”.
He further said: “We want to caution that the Wazirin Adamawa should not listen to political scavengers who want to reap where they did not sow.
Wike will bring to that ticket vibrancy, commitment and agility to complement Atikus role.
We also commend the party for a flawless convention and wish them luck in the historic election ahead.
