Senator Orji Kalu has hailed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
presidential aspirant, Nyesom Wike.
The Senate Chief Whip declared that “Wike is the winner of
the game for defying all odds to come second”.
In a Facebook post, Kalu said though he’s a chieftain of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Wike deserved accolades.
The former Abia Governor commended the “performance,
tenacity and courage” of the Rivers helmsman.
“He lost, but he fought gallantly. I congratulate and
commend his doggedness at the just concluded PDP presidential primaries”, he
added.
Wike lost the PDP 2023 ticket to former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar.
On Monday, Atiku visited him and other contestants,
including Bukola Saraki and Anyim Pius Anyim, in Abuja.
The party chieftains were said to have agreed to work
together to retake power from the APC.
The ruling party will conduct its presidential primary this
weekend.
At the PDP primary, Atiku polled 371 votes; Wike, 237;
former Senate President Saraki, 70; votes; Akwa Ibom Governor Emmanuel Udom,
38.
