Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has a chance of winning the presidential election in 2023 if his counterpart in Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, is elected as the party’s candidate.

Wike lamented that Nigeria was in a serious state of emergency due to insecurity, and that it was past time for the Peoples Democratic Party to reclaim power and save the country.

The governor said this while responding to questions from journalists during a visit to Bauchi State on Saturday, adding that God would not forgive the PDP if it failed to respond to Nigerians’ desire for the party to return to power.

“One of my resolutions for the year 2022 is to make Nigeria better than it was last year,” he said. It’s also to keep the PDP united, because if the party makes the mistake of not listening to Nigerians, God will have a hard time forgiving them.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to save Nigeria.” We Christians understand that when the Israelites faced difficulties, God sent Moses to lead them. Nigeria is in serious trouble right now, and it is the PDP that will lead the country out of it. As a result, we must accept that responsibility. If God makes it so that the ticket falls on him (Bala Mohammed), I’d rather believe our chances are very good.

“This insecurity is not the Nigeria we want; it is not the Nigeria where you wake up every morning to find the newspaper reporting that ’40 people have been killed…’ The inability of the so-called government to protect us is the cause of these deaths.”

Mohammed, according to Wike, is more than qualified to be Nigeria’s next president. He said the governor of Bauchi State’s antecedents and achievements in his more than two years in office demonstrated that he could effectively rule the country.

“My brother, Bala, has a lot of experiences,” he said. He worked in the ministry as a director before becoming a senator, then a minister, and finally a governor. And he is qualified to be president based on these alone. Then you’ll consider what he’s doing in Bauchi, as well as his credentials as a first-time governor. How many first-time governors do you see doing that? I was here to flag off projects, and many of my colleagues were here to do the same.

“As a result, the call for him to run for President is not misplaced in the least. Bala has the qualifications to run for President of the United States. He is overqualified in every way. In any case, his interpersonal relationships are second to none, and those calling for him to run for President have recognized the qualities in him.”

Wike was described by Mohammed as tough and the face of the PDP, whom he admired as a leader.

“Wike is always full of pleasant surprises, and today’s visit has exhilarated in me the feeling that I have more than a brother in the Rivers State governor,” he said. He has always been a role model for me. He’s a leader not because he’s a governor or because he’s wealthy, but because of the things he’s made of.”

Diran Odeyemi, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that he is unaware of any information about his alleged suspension for anti-party activities in his ward in Osun State’s Obokun Local Government Area.

D-Roy, as he is known, insisted in a phone conversation on Sunday that he was not aware of any information to that effect.

Odeyemi, who maintains that he did nothing to merit a suspension, said he was surprised to see the announcement on social media and that no official letter to back up the suspension has been received since then.

While urging a thorough investigation into the source of the announcement, he insisted that the person or group responsible for the suspension be identified.

Odeyemi claimed in a letter to the PDP National Chairman that the new South West National Vice Chairman, Olasoji Adagunodo’s intervention in the state’s PDP affairs by appointing his crony, Wale Ojo, as acting state chairman was appalling and condemnable.

According to the former Deputy PDP spokesperson, the party’s South West National Vice Chairman’s recent action undermines the peace and reconciliation process and stifles the team spirit needed to win governorship elections in both Ekiti and Osun States.

He called on the National Working Committee to summon Adagunodo and order him to withdraw all his case files from various courts, accusing him of not caring about the party in the state.

Odeyemi also asked the National Working Committee to reaffirm Sunday Bisi as the party’s authentic Chairman in Osun State, as ratified by the NEC at the party’s most recent National Convention, and to confirm Osogbo as the only PDP state secretariat in the state.

Owoeye Adelani, the PDP chairman in Obokun, has responded by saying that the news of the alleged suspension is an anomaly.

“Prince Diran Odeyemi is our true representative from Obokun, and Adagunodo Soji is our man,” he explained. They are all accountable to the state and to Nigeria as a whole.

“As I speak, Prince Diran Odeyemi is a member of the Obokun PDP, and he is not suspended or expelled.”
