Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike says the present National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, cannot lead the party to victory in the 2023 general elections, hence the quest for its replacement.

The governor has maintained that the internal rumbling that was recently witnessed in the party was following the failure of the NWC to carry out its responsibility as an opposition political party effectively.

Speaking on national television in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Governor Wike stated that the PDP remains the only credible alternative party that Nigerians are expecting to take over power in 2023, given the woeful performance of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

“If you go to the public and ask Nigerians if PDP is ready to take over power in 2023, if you take referendum, you will know that Nigerians are even waiting for PDP. But the fear of Nigerians is whether PDP is ready to take overpower. So, people are concerned about it. Obviously, it is ripe for PDP to take over, but you must be prepared to take over.

“And we said with what we have now, it will be difficult to take over power in 2023 if there are no amendments. Leadership was the problem. The point is this, the current NWC, as it is today, cannot lead the party to victory. Nobody has said they have not done well, one way or the other, but we are talking about the challenges ahead.

“That is why we are pushing for the party to have other people to lead the party and to give it a different strength altogether. If you know APC, you know that you need a robust, determined leadership of the party (PDP) to make sure you match them word by word, action by action.”

Governor Wike said anyone who loves the PDP and means well for the party will adhere to the resolutions reached after the intervention of the governors, Board of Trustees and elders to douse the brewing crisis in the party.

The governor dismissed insinuation that he is nurturing a presidential ambition, hence his opposition to the current NWC. He stated that his primary preoccupation is to see how the PDP could be better positioned to win the 2023 general elections.

@ the bold wike could be right, APC failed government have leave Nigerians with no choice than to vote back the devil they know before.

Both parties are Nigeria problem.. Same politicians crossing from one party to the other.

Nigerians have no choice than to choose lesser oppressors.

I know the peace meeting is just waste of time. Wike won't rest until Secondus is kicked out. He who has money has power in Nigeria

First time I will agree with Wike. Secondus is only interested in enriching his pocket. I knew how he sabotaged the recent party primary election in Anambra state for his selfish reasons but we should wait for his tenure to expire so that he can go

the man is a billionaire but the problem with him is that he eats alone

Ok

The end has come for this evil party.

PDP will eventually die a natural death.
Party of the corrupt

In as much as I hate APC govt I still prefer Osinbanjo as the best candidate come 2023

PDP needs an outspoken and fearless Chairman like Fayose or Bode George.But seconds should be allowed to finish his tenure in few months time.

Wike don personalize PDP.

Can they win at all?

Individual interest will soon collapse the party if care is not taken.

I know that great grandpa go wan run again...time will tell sha

Neither both parties

PDP is an IPOB and Christian party

Agreed

The only race Nigerians can win comfortably on Olympic games is Election.

Secondus is a goner

Unless electoral voting machine is used election in 2023 is a mere display of force

Everybody is tired of secondus
