In 2023, Atiku Abubakar was the only Presidential Aspirant who said that if the party zoned the office to the South-East, he would support both financially and otherwise_ Sen. Ben Obi
A group comprising former governors, senators, and ministers—including Prof. ABC Nwosu, Okwesilieze Nwodo, Achike Udenwa, Onyema Ugochukwu, and Dubem Onyia met with H.E. Atiku Abubakar SIX (6)TIMES at Sen. Ben Obi’s residence. During these meetings, he pledged to support the South-East if the PDP zoned the ticket to the geopolitical zone.
According to Punch Newspaper, Wike said Winning, not zoning was PDP’s focus. The chair of the zoning committee, Gov. Samuel Ortom – a Wike ally (G5 Governors) stated that the ticket would be open to all. Nyesom Wike never supported the South-East because of his presidential ambition.
When the South-East and Obidients Movement asserted in 2023 that ‘it was the turn of the South’, they failed to question Nyesom Wike and his allies (the G5 Governors) about WHICH PART OF THE SOUTH’S TURN? I am confident Wike would avoid answering, knowing that OBJ (8 years) and GEJ (5 years) previously governed Nigeria. Meanwhile, Ayodele Fayose claims Atiku Abubakar and Aminu Tambuwal destroyed the PDP, which I find laughable.
Nyesom Wike is largely responsible for the defection of southern presidential hopefuls like Dave Umahi, Ben Ayade, and Peter Obi to other parties. He perceived these three politicians as his main competitors from the South and sought to weaken their influence within the party to improve his chances against Atiku Abubakar since other political heavyweights from the North were also contesting…
NOTE: For those saying that since Atiku said he will support the South-East in 2023, he should support the South in 2027, take Note; that was under PDP but in the ADC, there’s no zoning in their constitution and all the leaders including Peter Obi agreed that nobody will step down for anyone because as an opposition, you don’t zone what you don’t have.
