The camp of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential
candidate’s running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, has said the Delta State governor
would work with his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike.
Reports have it that Wike and some PDP chieftains are
aggrieved over the choice of Okowa as the party’s presidential running mate.
Following his emergence, the PDP presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar, constituted a committee to select his running mate.
The committee had picked Wike, who came second during the PDP
presidential primary election in Abuja.
But, Atiku had ignored the committee’s recommendation and
opted for Okowa as his running mate.
Atiku’s decision is believed to have aggrieved Wike and
other party chieftains.
However, the Delta State Commissioner for Information,
Charles Aniagwu, assured that Okowa needs Wike’s support ahead of the 2023
presidential election.
Aniagwu assured that Okowa would work with other leaders in
the south to get votes for the PDP.
The Commissioner said, “Okowa will work with other leaders
in the south and across the country to galvanize the voters. He (Okowa)
believes that to have an inroad in Rivers State, for example, he will need
leaders led by Wike to get the votes.
“Okowa will work with Wike very well. Okowa will also reach
out to our brothers and sisters in the South-West and in the South-East, which
is already happening. The challenge at hand is not a one-man show.
“Beyond members of our party, Nigerians believe that the PDP
should get it right as the major option for the people ahead of the 2023
general election.”
