2023: How PDP Presidential Candidate Will Emerge — Wike

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has hinted on how the PDP Presidential Candidate will emerge.

Gatekeepers News reports that the Rivers State Governor, Southern Nigeria, Nyesom Wike has hinted on the type of presidential candidate the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) needs to take over power in 2023.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by Wike’s Special Assistant, Media, Kelvin Ebiri.

Ebiri said Wike said this when he paid a courtesy visit to Fintiri at the Adamawa State Government House, North East Nigeria.

Wike added that he and his entourage were in Yola to appreciate Fintiri, who was the Chairman of the PDP Convention Planning Committee for successfully conducting the exercise.

He noted that the Party’s stakeholders would at the right time collectively decide the presidential candidate.

Wike boasted that the PDP was ready to take over power at the centre in 2023 following the success of its convention.

Wike said: “At a time most people were expecting that it may not work out for PDP. It only did not work out well, it was peacefully conducted, the best ever conducted since PDP started.

“I believe that when people have done well, you commend them. When you give them another opportunity, they will put in their best. And that is one of things I have come today to say my brother, you’ve done well with your people. You did not put us to shame.

“How much does he get from the federation account yet he is able to judiciously put them into use for the interest and development of Adamawa State. If other people had done this within the city, he would have moved on to other areas that need attention. I want to plea to all of you to continue to give him the support.”

Wike also commended Fintiri for his developmental strides in Adamawa State, particularly in Yola, the State capital.
