Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti, has asked members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to work towards ensuring that the party’s candidate wins the presidency in 2023.

The former governor made the appeal on Friday while inaugurating a project in Obuama, Rivers state.

Fayose was hosted by Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers.

There has been division in the opposition party after Abubakar won the party’s presidential election in May.

Party stakeholders, especially those from the south, had demanded that the party’s presidential ticket be zoned to the region. 

Weeks after Abubakar won the PDP presidential ticket, Fayose had said a southerner must succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Fayose, who was a contestant in the PDP presidential primary, had attributed his rejection of a northern candidate to the party’s constitution which supports zoning.

“The current President of Nigeria is a 2-term Northern Presidency, thus implying that it MUST be a Southern Presidency in 2023 or NOTHING,” the former governor had tweeted at the time. 

But speaking on Friday in Rivers, Fayose said “the needful” should be done to help Abubakar win the presidential election. 

“For me, I want to believe his excellency, Atiku Abubakar, is not against you but let me say this quickly. A lot of people surrounding the throne are enemies of the throne, and a lot of people surrounding the throne have an issue to grind with somebody or some issues with somebody and they take it to where they are not supposed to take it,” he said. 

“There is no living being within this party and outside this party that will not acknowledge your contribution to this party. You are the soul of this party even till now what you do how many people do it.

“Let me say your good works will never go unrewarded. I have found out some things. The people that have benefited from you are the people that have pulled people down, the people you brought up, the people you laboured over day and night.

“I believe the needful will be done because winning an election is all that matters. Wike has not come out to say that Atiku Abubakar is not the presidential candidate.

“I was there the second day after the election when our candidate, the former vice-president, visited the house, the residence of governor Wike and we had mutual conversations. We were all happy. Everything was in place to move forward. I spoke at that meeting, but we don’t want to aggravate this situation.

“I am only appealing to people that matter. In every political party, there would be groupings, the same family, and different interests, but we can do better than we are doing. People around the corridor of power, please allow this candidate to win the election.

“We do not celebrate victory until it is ours. Even in my state, they said that Fayose is Tinubu’s man. Like I said, people were decamping — sitting governors. I did not. Some people believe that you have to destroy your leaders before they can rise.”

It is getting clear to them , that Atiku is being backed by the Presidency and they will use Federal machinery and Federal finance and CBN funds to back Atiku.
When we were telling those politically short sighted Tinubu supporters, how the scenario and political abracadabra, betrayals, anti Tinubu sentiment and pro Atiku Sentiment that will be whipped up in the North, will all unfold after APC Primaries, they called us stupid.
The Buhari block votes from the North have been secured for Atiku instead of Tinubu.
We warned earlier that most of those Northern APC Governors are Pro Atiku , they are the ones putting pressure on Atiku and some other PDP Governors and Chieftains not to let Ayu resign as Chairman, cos they will have smooth cross over to PDP, and take over their state PDP party structures after 2023 election.
Which is why Wike is panicking threatening and wailing, cos Wike is financing the state PDP chapters in Northern states where they don't have a sitting PDP Governor, He is doing that for his second attempt at the Presidency again in 2027, since he couldn't pick the ticket in the 2022 PDP Presidential Primary.
Tambuwal is the middle man and broker between PDP and APC Northern Governors.
The coasting is getting clear.
Even Wike will soon Atikulate
This is inevitably Atiku's time...Hate it or Love it

I believe you well well

Hmm
ATIKU's time has come.
Nigerian and indeed Nigerians have chosen to elect atiku abubakar as the next president.
I urge president buhari to quickly get his hand over notes ready.
God bless PDP.
God bless wike.
God bless Nigeria

Tambuwal Of Africa.

He reminds me Sir Ahmdu Bello The Sardauna of Sokoto.

Sardauna was backed by Emirs, Scholars and Elders he was the cleverest and smartest politician. But he pulled curtains and led from behind by pushing Tafawa Balewa affront based on advice by Northern Coalition.

Oshoko wan cash out as usual.....agbaa lol

Pathetic southern politicians, how could you be supporting another Notherner after Buhari has spent 8 years in power. Most educated Northerners and their youths now know how useless their elites are, they always want power with nothing to show for it.

Anyone aside Obi or Tinubu should be resisted with immediately negotiation of this stupid union next year.

Ok

Wike! How markaaaaaaayt? ? ?

He has not openly campaigned for HE Atiku. He is only appealing to HE Wike to calm down while still demanding that the needful be done. The koko is that "needful" to be done and my guess is that Sen. Ayu resign.

The reality is that it is a bit late for HE Wike to decamp but I really doubt he will work for HE Atiku. He is not stupid to believe he can get anything from Atiku once he backs him.

He is at a cross road but he is very eccentric and not scared to go alone. He has clout and some kind of similarities with Asiwaju Tinubu.
Nobody knew till now that he could hold PDP and Atiku like this.

I will not be surprised if he becomes the President some day
check my signature for freestuffs!

Ayo na sellout... together PDP ma lule las las

I'm still politicians dient!
