Governor Nyesom Wike Rejects PDP Vice Presidential Candidacy, Nominates Donald Duke

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has rejected the offer of being the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice presidential candidate; instead, he nominated a former governor of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke for the position.

Wike was touted as a possible running mate to the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar but the influential governor rooted for Mr. Duke, who was governor from 1999 to 2007.

Impeccable sources told GRASSROOT REPORTERS that the former conceded the position because of his firm believe in Mr. Duke to better the electoral fortunes of the party, especially in the south and garnered more support from the youths.

A journalist, Agba Jalingo corroborated the report in a Facebook post.

He wrote: “Wike declines VP position to Atiku. Recommends Donald Duke.”

Also, a media aide to Senator Sandy Onor (Cross River State PDP Governorship Candidate), Modlin Odu wrote:

“Two days ago, I wrote that Cross River State will benefit greatly from an Atiku/Sandy pair for President and Governor.

“Today, HE Nyesom Wike has rejected the Deputy position and nominated HE Donald Duke of Cross River State for it. It takes a lot of courage to do this.

“I also wrote that South South will be a major determinant of who wins the Presidency should the entire North expectedly go with Atiku, South West with Tinubu and South East with Peter Obi. To appease Wike, his nomination will be given serious consideration by the Leadership of the party knowing his strength in South South.

“As Governor, Donald Duke performed brilliantly in Cross River and as Vice President, we all know he would not fail especially now that PDP has learnt from previous mistakes and ready to serve Nigeria better.

“Imagine a Donald/Sandy mix. Fine men of cosmopolitan broad mindedness.It should be crystal clear to every well meaning C’Riverian by now that our progress is in PDP, a party making strategic political moves that are highly advantageous to the State.

“God has indeed, answered the prayers of the State.” Modlin post read.

I hope Presidency doesn't go to the North. It won't be funny for the entire south. And as for the position of a VP, it's almost like a ceremonial post.

Ok

No wonder Gov Ayade won't allow this guy to rest cos him be basket mouth

Btw, Duke's role in the emergence of GEJ as VP nominated during Yaradu before election will continue to him him in SS Politics

Ok

G

i see wike decamping to APC soon cos PDP is becoming to small for him

They will all fail together.

No to another fulani in 2023, no be only Fulani get Nigeria.

I am BATified.

Enemy camp in disarray.
U dey smoke Igbo? U dey take Indian hemp

Donald Duke did very well when he was governor at the same time with Tinubu, yet all his Calabar indegenes are working as house boys and house girls in Tinubu's Lagos.

Meanwhile, that same Calabar which Donald Duke governed was the first Capital of Nigeria, yet all treasury looters in Calabar bring their mistresses to fucck in Lagos.

Nonsensical nonsense without ingredients.

All VP between Obasanjo and PMB are reserved type atimes made reserved

Hope he is?

Wike hate Apc with passion

Before it was Ugwuanyi now it’s Donald Duke. Do you think Wike will want to let go of the VP slot and become a minister in case the party win the general election? Wike is too ambitious to nominate someone he cannot control

Bellow is a probability chance of each presidential candidates to win election as at today.

Tiunbu = 55%
Atiku = 30%
Kwankwaso = 5%
Peter Obi = 5%
Others = 5%

the hatred is much seriously

Donald will split Peter Obi's votes. This Wike is an evil man. Donald as VP will just be a waste of his talents because I doubt if the North will allow him be anything other than a figurehead. Then we would have lost Peter Obi for nothing.
But Atiku was Donald's dad's boss in customs, so lets see how that plays out.
Curioser and curioser!

You don't even know how to spell the first on your list currently..hence the first correct spelt name comes first!

Tinubu no fit beat atiku...

Good, without wike's influence southsouth PDP will definitely grow weak.

Another advantage for Peter Obi.

Yes because your yoruba people are too fvcking dirty to keep a home. You really wanna go down this road?

I must say, he is. Cross River will vote massively for PDP. Yay!!!!!!!
I'm still partial to Peter Obi, until someone proves me wrong.

they are checkmating his Affluence already. That's if the so-called Affluence isn't audio

Rastaramsey:

I just think it is sort of 50/50 between these two old corrupt men. They both have the resources, and I think,they are both ready to fight dirty.

I'm currently "Obidient". #Im for a working_Nigeria

Don't start this madness today! Donald Duke was an excellent governor in his time.

He was arguably the best, coming up with ideas that put Cross River on the map and generated good revenue for the state.

Unfortunately, his successors destroyed his legacy.
