The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, has said the party will win the 2023 presidential election despite the opposition of five aggrieved governors.


Ayu assured that the crisis rocking the PDP would be resolved ahead of the presidential election.

The G5 governors comprising Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu have been calling for Ayu’s resignation.

The governors led by Wike noted that PDP’s National Chairman and presidential candidate can’t come from the same region.

The wike-led group has been angry with the PDP leadership following the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate.


However, Ayu urged PDP stakeholders to work together ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

In a statement by his Media Aide, Simon Imobo-Tswam, Ayu said: “So, at the moment, we are still talking. The cards are on the table and we are still appealing to every aggrieved stakeholder. Our opponent is the APC, and that is where our focus is.

“Yes, despite the opposition of the five governors, PDP will still win. Why do I say so? Elections are not going to be held tomorrow; we are still talking, the window is still open, and our message is that of diplomacy.


“With reconciliation, we are stronger. We may have issues at the party, but our eyes are on the ball. That is our focus, our opponents are not in PDP; they are outside PDP. They are APC.”

Day dreaming fool.

Don't worsen an already bad situation

Ayu, that must be one helluva juicy position to not want to give it up, aint it?

ashin

Says the fulani slave.

This PDP are very confident of victory because of the massive defections from APC to PDP going on in the north. But there is more that they still don't understand.

See joker. Even Atiku knows, that's why he has refused to release funds.
Una go collect wotowoto for this election.

Use me as a dislike button for this trash talk.



Strictly Obi or no conversing...

Please let's support his excellency Mr Peter obi for the president of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

Atiku will lose again

Meanwhile hope you all are aware of what's going on in Benue. OBI ALL THE WAY

Hehehe .

Ayu the dreamer.
If Ayu meant well for Atiku,he would have resign,but in Nigeria we don't like anything that has to do with resignation.

Atiku should do the needful now, before it's too late.

This is logically, rationally, and evidently impossible. The South East has always been PDP's strong base. Of the five South Eastern States, Two belongs to PDP (Abia and Enugu), Two to APC (Imo and Ebonyi) and One to APGA. Not a single governor in the SE is in support of Atiku. So that region is (according to Wike) fa fa fa.... foul.

In Southwest, only Osun is in the bag for Atiku because of Adeleke. We should not even go the North. Truly, the billions that Wike mentioned Ayu collected is truly deceiving him

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
