2023: PDP Presidential Candidate Will Be Decided By All Stakeholders – Wike
Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate in 2023 will be picked collectively by party stakeholders and at the appropriate time.
On Friday, he made the statement during a courtesy visit to Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, at the Government House in Yola.
The successful holding of the PDP National Convention, according to Governor Wike, has put the party in a position to take power in 2023.
Gov. Fintiri, as well as other members of the PDP convention planning committee, were also complimented by Wike for conducting a rancor-free convention.
“For making our party proud, today Nigerians believe that PDP have put themselves in a position to takeover the affairs of this country. It was not easy.
“At a time most people were expecting that it may not work out for PDP, it not only worked out well, it was peacefully conducted, the best ever conducted since PDP started.
“Today, Ahmadu Fintiri has become a household name in Nigerian politics, because of the convention he conducted very transparently. Thank you for what you have done for our great party,” he said.
On his part, Gov. Fintiri commended all the PDP governors and other party stakeholders for the opportunity given to the committee to serve.
Commending Gov. Wike for his support, he said “We are not just colleagues, we are not just in the same party, we have discovered ourselves to be good friends and even metamorphosing into being brothers. This is what we need in this country.
“That is why I am not a supporter of those who are calling for zoning of the presidency. I am for those that are calling for good candidate that can bring this country together, and improve on the potentials that abound in both human and capital of Nigeria”.
