*PDP National Chairman Ayu, Receives Presidential Aspirant Wike,
*Says All PDP Presidential Aspirants Are Better Than Buhari.
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Dr. Iyorchia Ayu on Tuesday received Governor Nyesom Wike one of the presidential aspirants on the platform of the PDP and his entourage who visited the national secretariat to return his nomination forms and intimate the party hierarchy of his presidential ambition.
Ayu in his address reiterated his position that every of the 17 presidential aspirants on the party’s platform is better than incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ayu praised Gov. Wike’s contributions to the party and hailed the governor’s politics of issues, urging all aspirants on the party’s platform to stay focused on issues.
He expressed the optimism that the PDP will sweep next year’s presidential election, but called on party faithful to close ranks and work towards the common goal.
His words: “I have no doubt that we will win next year’s presidential election. But we must close ranks, keep our eyes on the big picture and work in unity. We must never lose sight of our common goal.”
Earlier, Wike had said if the major opposition party wants a candidate that will displace the ruling APC from power in year’s general election, it should hand him the ticket.
While ushering Gov. Wike before the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), Abia State Governor, Ikpeazu, said the 2023 general election was about Nigeria’s corporate existence.
He said Nigerians “are tired of empty promises, and want example, pedigree and a clear evidence of performance which Nyesom Wike exemplifies.”
