The desperation of Mr. Atiku Abubakar and other members of the Peoples Democratic Party to push Governor Nyesom Wike aside is going to make them lose the 2023 presidential election. No matter how members of the Peoples Democratic Party and their supporters see it, it would have been better to have governor Nyesom Wike as the running mate to Mr. Atiku Abubakar. Mr. Atiku Abubakar instead chose Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state. Now there are lots of problems in the party which no one knows when they will be resolved. Though the presidential candidate has right to choose who becomes his running mate, the Peoples Democratic Party got it wrong from the beginning. Let the truth be told, Mr. Atiku Abubakar should not have contested if truly the Peoples Democratic Party wants to maintain a balance. The ticket should have gone to the south, but because of desperation, Mr. Atiku Abubakar bribed his way and won the party’s presidential primary. With that, Governor Nyesom Wike should have been allowed to be the running mate of Atiku Abubakar. The northern members of the Peoples Democratic Party have all the main positions in the party and want the south to happily campaign for them. Such an arrangement is wrong. Again, the Peoples Democratic Party should not undermine Governor Nyesom Wike, if they really want to be relevant in the 2023 presidential election.
