“Have I ever failed to get the ticket?” Atiku said when asked if he was sure about securing the party’s ticket. I am optimistic that I will be able to obtain the ticket.”

“I didn’t anticipate him, frankly speaking, to state that he will always take the party’s ticket,” Gov. Wike said on Sunday in response to the remarks. That is taking the delegates for granted and going too far.

“People should keep an eye on things because the PDP convention will be shocking.” People should keep an eye on what is going on. People have a tendency to undervalue a large number of people, which is not helpful in politics.”
