APC Leaders Confident Wike Will Declare Support For Tinubu In January 2023 by nairavsdollars(f): 4:13pm On Dec 25, 2022
Leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are optimistic that the Nyesom Wike-led G-5 governors in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will throw their weight behind the presidential bid of its candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general elections.

The G-5, otherwise known as the ‘Integrity Governors’ include Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo); Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia); Samuel Ortom (Benue) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) are demanding the resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu as a condition for their support for Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.

They also want Atiku to sign an undertaking that if he wins the 2023 presidential election, he will only rule for one term and allow power to move back to the Southern part of the country in 2027.

The aggrieved governors and their supporters had pulled out of the campaign council of Atiku and declared that they would not work for his aspiration unless their demands were met by the candidate and the leadership of the party.

While many of Atiku’s associates such as Chief Raymond Dokpesi had publicly said he will only serve for one term, Wike and his allies believe it is a mere political statement as the agreement may not be honoured.

In recent times, Wike has been full of praises for President Muhammadu Buhari whom he commended for approving all the monies accruable to the Niger Delta states since 1999.

He has also been romancing prominent APC leaders, inviting them to Rivers state for projects commissioning.

Last week, the governor said he will reveal the presidential candidate to moblise votes for in the 2023 general election in January, 2023, adding that he would undertake a nationwide campaign tour to tell Nigerians the most preferred presidential candidate requiring their votes.

On the other hand, supporters of Atiku in Rivers and Benue were recently attacked for pasting posters and wearing t-shirts of the PDP presidential candidate.

Speaking with DAILY INDEPENDENT on Sunday, a member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC who asked not to be named said many leaders of the party are confident that Wike and his allies will pitch their tent with Tinubu.

"We in the APC are very confident the G-5 governors will back Asiwaju. There are three major presidential candidates in the election. They have completely ruled out Atiku of PDP. Atiku's campaign team even boasted that they can win the election without the support of the integrity governors. Don't forget, Atiku also ignored Seyi Makinde and announced Ademola Adeleke as the Chairman of the South-West Coordinating Committee of the campaign council".

"With Atiku out of the picture, the two remaining candidates are Asiwaju and the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi. From the look of things, a highly sophisticated politician like Wike can never support Obi who has no structures but only relying on social media and fake online polls to claim victory".

"Politics as they say is a game of numbers. With the flop witnessed in Kogi, Osun and Port Harcourt rally of Labour Party and other parts of the country, do you think any serious politician will support him"? he asked.

Another APC chieftain who is a member of the South-West Agenda for Asiwaju 2023 (SWAGA'23) said the body language of the governors shows they are in support of Tinubu’s aspiration.

"From the body language of the governors, it is clear they are supporting Asiwaju. If you remember, the Oyo State Governor Makinde said they are in support of the Pa Reuben Fasoranti-led Afenifere which endorsed Tinubu’s presidential bid".

Also speaking, Hon. Festus Asiriuwa, a chieftain of the PDP said since Atiku has ignored their demands, the aggrieved governors may have decided to pitch their tent with Tinubu for the presidential election while supporting PDP candidates in the governorship, senatorial and house of assembly elections.

“ Except Atiku and the PDP leadership accede to the demands of the PDP G-5, then they have no choice than to pitch their tent with the APC for the presidential election. They will however canvass for PDP candidates in the other elections such as governorship, national and state assembly elections”.

“The issue at stake is more than the presidential election. It is about the political future of the aggrieved governors. Every politician is concerned about their future career in politics”.

"For someone like Wike, he is not going to the Senate after leaving office in 2023, so needs someone who will protect his interests. If Atiku wins, what guaranteed is there that he won’t use presidential power to deal with him?".

" Makinde is seeking reelection and will not want the APC to use federal might while the likes of Ikpeazu, Ortom and Ugwuanyi are also hoping to install their candidates as successors”.

If Wike want to remain relevant politically after his tenor as governor, he should support whom the masses is supporting and love - Peter Obi. Anyday he openly support Tinubu, that's the end for him politically.

One of the reasons why Tinubu is avoiding Presidential debate is the ENDSARS protest. He cannot answer the questions concerning the killing of innocent Nigerian youths which they have refused to apologize for. The failed electoral promises and the gross disappointment of the APC Government to Nigerians are other reasons. Nigerians want to move forward with Mr Peter Obi.

Well as an OBIDIENT.....am not sure Wike will openly support Obi. Sumtin is telling me he will campaign and declare for Atiku....las las!. But doesn't mean Wike ain't for Obi, it just means Wike wants to do damage control and support obi at the background. That's what wike will likely do. But let's wait and see who wike and The G-5 Governors will campaign for. Obi is cumin!

President Muhammad Buhari told us specifically that south east votes are inconsequential. He went ahead to describe them as dot in the circle.
He never added south south. Go and study the voting population of Rivers state, its between 1st to 5th with highest voters.
In other words, dont drag south south to your nemesis.

Only IPOB and spareparts dealers support Obi. Even his VP knows that Obi is losing the election. Thats why he’s distancing himself from Obi. Only diehard zombies like you still believe Obi is supported by majority of people.

May be you don’t know that Peter Obi obtained a court injunction to stop EndSARS panel from probing his killing of MASSOB members extrajudicially. Many of you ignorant louts don’t know the many sins of the devil called Peter Obi. You are just sheepishly following him about without asking questions.

Before you further support Tinubu/ Shettima ticket , get to know what El-rufai is doing with the Christians in Southern Kaduna. Just like the APC Government, he started with a Christian deputy governor. But in the second term, he dropped the Christian deputy and went for a Muslim deputy governor. Today the area dominated by Christians are experiencing genocide from El-rufai led state government. The former deputy governor of central bank who spoke out has been eliminated. And someone is still supporting Tinubu and Boko Haram Shettima. NO WAY.

Lol! Politics is not about emotion,it is about interest. If you were in his shoes,I believe you will study the situation very well and go for someone that have the chance of winning.
If at the end of the day,he chooses Tinubu and Tinubu wins,he wins also and he will remain relevant.

This is not a state affair. Otherwise there are many Christian/Christian governors in southwest who also disadvantage the muslims. We are talking of Presidency.
