Former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has said that the governor of Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, is the the natural heir to the presidential seat after Atiku Abubakar, the Partys candidate in the forthcoming 2023 election.
Lamido, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), described the governor as an asset to the PDP and a leader, who he said has ascribed his name in glory, given his performance as the chief executive of the oil-rich State.
He blamed unnamed persons close to the governor for fuelling issues Wike has been responding to recently, stressing that the party must rescue the Rivers state governor and preserve him for the future.
According to him, Wike is a huge treasure for the PDP and one of the best materials. If we win (in 2023), he is the natural heir to the throne, because he has the quality, the aura, the charm, the charisma and the age.
According to the former Foreign Affairs Minister, whatever support Wike gives to PDP today is the partys right, adding that it is the party that made him and not the other way round.
He further said: Whatever support he is giving to PDP is PDPs right, because a son does not say ‘I am doing this for my father’; The party that made him is like a father.
