The dust over the presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the choice of Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate by its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has not settled.

Although Atiku and Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike met yesterday in Abuja at the instance of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), led by Senator Walid Jibrin, a source said it did not lead to a truce.

The meeting was hosted by former Information and Culture Minister Prof. Jerry Gana at his residence.

At a meeting with BoT members on Wednesday, Atiku boasted that PDP can win next year’s election without many votes from Rivers State.

He said there was no cause for alarm if Wike did not want to fall in line with him.

Exuding confidence, Atiku recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, who did not win Rivers State, relied on votes from Lagos, Kano and other strategic states to win the 2019 presidential poll.

He also said PDP ran into crisis because Wike allegedly monetised the presidential primary.

Wike, who was privy to what transpired at the BOT meeting, was said to have complained about Atiku’s recent comment about him.

A source said: “Wike joined issues with Atiku over his recent comments or pronouncements at the second meeting.

But Atiku will win neither Kano nor Lagos, however, all Northwest, South West, 4 States in North East, 4 States in North Central , 4 States in South South and 5% in SE will be won by Tinubu.

ImmaculateJOE:


In fact Tinibu will win all 36 states plus FCT with 100% votes..

Come and win a single LGA for SS let me dash you urgent 2k..

Michelle70:
Tinubu may likely win Bayelsa, they are progressive, as for other SS states, he will loose woefully

ImmaculateJOE:

How on earth will Tinibu win in Bayelsa...? A man that mastermind the removal of their son Gej.. Tinibu won't smell 15% of votes there.

Forget about David Lyon wining the guber election last time.. Just like saying Atiku will win Osun because Adeleke won guber election..

SS is a battle between LP and PDP, although APC will get some significant votes in Edo and Cross river .

Michelle70:
i lived in Bayelsa state until 2020 before moving to PH.
Bayelsans are not bittered about the removal of GEJ, they have moved passed it.
If there is anyone Bayelsans really liked, that should be DSP Alameyesigha, and to some extent Timipre sylva

Tinubu or Atiku may win Bayelsa but definitely not Obi, i'll lean towards Atiku with Tinubu coming second

Despite GEJ having 1m+ votes against Buhari having just a little above 50k in 2015 in Rivers state. when it comes to 2019, PDP had just 600k while APC had 160k.

that shows u that when their man is not involved, the average SS person is not keen on voting, forget the media publicity of LP, e no deh pass townhall meeting

skywalker240:

Since 2020 have you been to bayelsa recently?

Sorry

Saying tinubu will win bayelsa is like saying Peter Obi will win Kano or sokoto

sanpipita:
Something must be wrong with Atiku if he indeed said this, can he win Kano or Lagos? as it stands he might be finishing distance third in Kano and Lagos.

Michelle70:
i made lots of friends in BY, i wan in Bayelsa around June and spent 3days sef.

Bayelsans are not bittered people, take it to the bank

skywalker240:

Is it bitterness that will make bayelsans leave a Peter Obi that is closer to them for a tinubu that looks like a stranger to them?

Michelle70:
Peter Obi closer to them?
Lolz.
PDP is closer to them than the PO u are talking about

skywalker240:

Yes

Thanks for reminding me that too

So what makes you think bayelsa will leave a Obi or Atiku for tinubu who is a total stranger to the entire south south?

Michelle70:
