Buba Galadima a former All Progressives Congress stalwart has told the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential flag-bearer Abubakar Atiku he is going nowhere in the 2023 elections without Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike.
Galadima who has pitched tent with New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), was speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, He said:“PDP is not even on the ballot because its strength in the south-east has been eroded by Peter Obi (Labour Party presidential candidate). The next strength of PDP is in the south-south. With Wike never supporting Atiku, the south-south is gone,” Galadima said.
“And Wike is not only strong in the southeast, Wike commands 14 states of Nigeria for PDP. All of them follow him: five serving governors, nine gubernatorial candidates outside the PDP-controlled states, all belong to Wike.
“It is what Wike decides that will happen in the PDP.
“The north-east is completely Rabiu Kwankwaso (NNPP presidential candidate) because he will win Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe, and Bauchi, including the governorship.
“He will win the north-east, north-central, and will win the north-west. All combined, they have over 50-something million voters.”
