The acting Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party,
Adolphus Wabara, has advised Ndigbo not to be in a hurry over the 2023
presidential bid as the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will
hand over to them after his tenure in 2031 if he wins.
Wabara, who was a former Senate President, was speaking on
Tuesday in Umuahia, Abia State capital, at the inauguration of the Atiku/Okowa
Presidential Campaign Council.
He said, “There is no way Ndigbo could get the President.
(During the the PDP presidential primary) Ndigbo had 95 votes but only 14 was
given to an Igbo aspirant, Anyim Pius Anyim.
“If you look at the logic, I get confused that Abia is
confused. Let us go to where the president will emerge.
“We should use our brain to follow it. Let us show course
when he has promised to hand over to an Igbo man.
“We should not be in a hurry, but he will do it. Let us
begin now to look for the black goat now that it is day time.
“Our overall leader is a man of God who will not victimise
us”.
He urged all PDP candidates to live by the mantra and show
that “Abia is PDP and PDP is Abia”.
He noted that Nigeria is not a one-party state and has 18
presidential candidates, adding, “So, all must vote according to your
conscience and according to party.
“PDP is the oldest party in Nigeria. If you look at our
antecedents, you will understand what is happening in the party”.
Addressing the members of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential
Campaign Council and the Abia State Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign structure
management committee during the inauguration, the South East Coordinator of the
Campaign Council and Senator representing Abia Central at National Assembly,
Theodore Orji, said Abia would remain a PDP state.
He said, “We have a presidential candidate, Atiku and our
brother, the vice presidential candidate and the sitting governor of Delta
State, Ifeanyi Okowa.
“The party brought out our candidate and it is our duty to
support him.”
The state coordinator of the Campaign Council in Abia,
Charles Ogbonna, advised all to be faithful party men, adding, “I have seen the
handwriting on the wall that Atiku is going to win.”
