Governor Nyeson Wike of Rivers State has urged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to unite and seize power in 2023.
He claimed that the country was in danger and that it needed to be rescued.
Governor Wike, who was in Kaduna to pay a visit to former Governor Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, said that, based on recent election results, Nigerians were tired of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) losing many units at the grassroots level, and that they were waiting for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to take power and restore the country’s lost glory.
Governor Wike told the gathering that had gathered outside Makarfi’s house that, “the PDP is the only party in Nigeria that has hope. I didn’t come here to tell you I want to run for President. There must be a party first of all for you to run for President. Our own is to make sure that our party is intact. Tomorrow I am going to Plateau to tell Useni, to tell Jang that we cannot continue the way we are going.”
“This APC has finished Nigeria, let nobody tell you another story. There is nothing they can tell us now. They have no idea. If they had any idea, they didn’t use it. If APC had promises for six years, is it one and a half years they are going to fulfill it?”
Former governor Makarfi, he said, was essential and was held in high regard by PDP members across the country because of his leadership qualities and courage in saving the party when Ali Modu Sheriff was being used to break it up.
He hailed former governor Makarfi as a guy who had dedicated himself to the party’s long-term viability, emphasizing that when the party was in trouble, Makarfi stood firm, devoted, and bold, freeing the party from Ali Modu Sheriff’s chains.
In his remarks, Makarfi praised Governor Wike for attending, stating that the PDP would not exist today if Wike had not given his leadership such strong support.
According to him, “we played our role, but you played a key role.”
The former Governor stated unequivocally that if he continued to work with the same vigor and determination, he could achieve his goals. “the party can do it again”.
He added that, “If there is no party, what is the point of your ticket; therefore, we have to build the party first, we have to be united and when a consensus is decided, we should all have one voice.”
