The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might become extinct if it fails to present electable candidate to win the 2023 presidential election.
Wike, made this assertion when he visited leaders of the People’s Democratic Party in Anambra State on Saturday, to support his presidential ambition.
According to him, winning the 2023 general election is crucial to the survival of the party, and he remains the most electable aspirant that can defeat the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“I didn’t send anybody to you, because I have respect for you. We have been opposition since 2015 and if we don’t win this election in 2023, we can as well forget PDP. And so, everything must be done to win this election. No sentiment should be brought in and of all the aspirants, whether the person is from Anambra, Sokoto, Imo, look at all of us, who can withstand APC in this election? it is me,” he said.
“I have challenged APC before. I have defeated them severally with the government in power. You know what happened in Rivers State. All I am asking the delegates, if you really want PDP to win this election in 2023, just give me that ticket. Go home and sleep with your eyes close. I will win the election.”
“Look the day I win the general election in February next year, anybody who says he is a bandit, let him wait for me. I will take the war to them,” Wike added.
