Wike-backed PDP Holds First NEC Meeting After Unsealing Headquarters by SlavaUkraini(op): 12:07pm On Apr 20

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will on Monday (today) hold a National Executive Committee meeting, NEC, at its headquarters in Abuja, following the unsealing of the secretariat last week.

DAILY POST recalls that the party’s secretariat was sealed in November last year after a violent clash between the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee of the party and the Abdulrahman Mohammed-led caretaker committee, who were both laying claims to the party’s leadership.

An Appeal Court judgment in March, however, invalidated the Ibadan convention that produced the Turaki-led PDP leadership, a judgment the Abdulrahman-led PDP, which is heavily backed by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, relied upon to conduct the Abuja convention.

The meeting today is expected to be attended by all members of NEC who are on the side of the Mohammed-led PDP, including the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, former Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, among others.

PDP should sell their assets or merge it with A PC, because technically PDP has been bought with a price which only Wike can name.

But PDP still get electoral values than some political parties in Nigeria. If you conduct senate, house of reps and house of assembly election in Nigeria today, PDP will still win some seats compared to some mushroom parties.

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

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.

Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.

He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

Re: Wike-backed PDP Holds First NEC Meeting After Unsealing Headquarters by DeLaRue: 1:52pm On Apr 20*

People underestimating the damage PDP can do to ADC's prospects.

As we saw in some of the elections in recent times, PDP still get several times more votes than ADC.

The name PDP has deep resonance with millions of people in villages and towns across Nigeria. Many of these people are not online, and so don't know much about ADC.

They have always voted PDP, and with a little motivation, they will still vote PDP come rain come shine.

In 2027, I suspect PDP will target 5 to 7 far Northern states, select popular locals as gubernatorial candidates, premise financial support for the Governorship election on such candidates delivering say, 20 - 25% of the votes in their states in the Presidential election, thus weakening Mr Atiku's vote counts.

In the South, they will support Mr Tinubu.

Without Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Nasarawa, there are only 15 Northern states where Mr Atiku needs to dominate massively to have any chance. So if PDP succeeds in taking just 20% of Northern votes, ADC will be down and out.

Court ruled against seyi fraction, they can neglect the grudges n grieved members, So how is wike different

When you check the People cheering Wike they are Apc loyalist, from lamidi Apapa of Lp to Wike of PDP to Nafiu gombe .. They are always concern nd the support base, Bayo onanuga now retweet Nafiu gombe post 🤣
