2023: Atiku, Wike Would Have Been A Stronger Ticket For PDP Against APC –makinde by Thescrutinyng: 8:03pm On Apr 15

Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde on Tuesday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could have won the 2023 presidential election if it had fielded former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike as Vice- Presidential candidate to the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku won the presidential primary by 371 votes to defeat Wike , who polled 237 votes, while a former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, scored 70 votes.

Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State got 38 votes; Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, scored 20 votes; a former Senate President, Pius Anyim, got 14 votes, while a former President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, Sam Ohuabunwa, polled only one vote.

Speaking on Channels Television, Makinde said shortly after the primary, he approached Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state and proposed that the party should field Wike as running mate to Atiku.

He said Atiku rejected all the proposals made by the G-5 and chose Ifeanyi Okowa, immediate past Delta State governor as his running mate.

Makinde said the party must not repeat that mistake in the 2027 general elections.

“The day after the convention, I went to my good friend, Governor Fintiri and I said look, make this a unity ticket. Let us appeal to Governor Wike to be on the ticket. It would have been a stronger ticket to face the PDP. But all the people around our candidate (Atiku) rejected it”.

“We met with him in London, all the things we discussed there, he rejected it and he came back and said ‘we have moved on. All these children, where were they when we were forming PDP? And we have seen the result now and we don’t want to walk that path again”.

Wike is a man of honor.

He will never betray his own.

Atiku is the ultimate betrayer.

IPOB terrorists will believe otherwise because wike didn't support their packaged fraud PETHIEF OBI eventually.

The only sin of WIKE is that he didn't support this fraud below

And his sin up North is that he didn't support Atiku. To make it worse,he became the first southerner to become FCT minister

GSM should remember that prior to the primary election, Wike vowed never to be a vice president to anyone 🤔. That he will never be a second citizen. 😉

Everyone was tired of clueless Buhari and his APC thieves. We were in PH waiting for the news of Wike to be announced as the V.P candidate. We were ready. We knew the election would be over within hours because that was a winning team.
Sadly the news came negative. Atiku Abubakar have made a wrong choice, a political blunder and have lost the presidency. The thin line between Atiku and Aso Villa has been cut off by that singular act because he can not win election with someone like Okowa who is a paper weight politician.
Atikus arrogance cost him the chances of being Mr President today. He lost it due to arrogance, same way Kwankwaso lost to become president after Peter Obi, had he agreed to deputise him, but NO.....the Hausa/Fulani tribes are very proud and arrogant. Atiku can be president in his next world, not this one again, unfortunately.

It Is Fixed. Tinubu Is OTP. One Term President
