2023: Nigeria suffering today is caused by Atiku, Saraki, don’t deserve PDP ticket – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, once again hit the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki that they don’t deserve the Peoples Democratic Party’s ticket.

Wike who is one of the presidential aspirants revealed that some aspirants within the PDP don’t deserve the party’s ticket.

Though, Governor Wike does not specifically mention Atiku, Saraki and other aspirants but said some aspirants worked against the PDP to install President Muhammadu Buhari who was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said such persons abandoned the party back in 2015 when it lost the presidential polls while some others in the same category worked against the PDP to install Buhari and caused where Nigeria is suffering today.  

Wike is believed to be making allusions to Atiku and Saraki who are also seeking the PDP ticket for the 2023 presidency.

Speaking in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, Wike told party delegates in the state that he has always remained with the party and urged them to give him their support.

“The issue is, who are those who made PDP to lose the election in 2015 that today we are suffering? Today, we are in opposition and trying to take power back.

“But see what the country has been turned into. Who are those who told Nigerians that President Buhari is a saint, that President Buhari will salvage Nigeria? What is their sense of judgment? Who are those aspirants who abandoned PDP, betrayed PDP and went to support President Buhari?” Wike stated.

The Rivers State Governor also lashed out at the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the country has been plagued with insecurity under his watch while many Nigerians are getting killed on a daily basis.

He said: “Now we are suffering. People are dying every day. From January to March in Kaduna, over 1000 people have been killed. So many people have been kidnapped.”

Wike, therefore, charged Nigerians with the need to exhibit extra caution in choosing their next leader come 2023.
