Atiku, Wike ticket, Dokpesi campaign split PDP

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has lambasted PDP stalwart Raymond Dokpesi for zoning the party’s presidential ticket to the north.

Wike said this while dismissing reorts he has accepted running as ex-V.P Atiku Abubakar running mate in the 2023 presidential election.

Dokpesi heads the technical committee consulting across the nation for Atiku, and he has pitched an unsuccessful proposal to the southeast: to support Atiku’s one-term agenda that wll pave the way for tan Igbo president.

“Please discountenance all those things you are hearing. The south will make a statement very soon,” Wike said during a PDP meeting in Port Harcourt Tuesday.

“At the level of Dopkesi, he said he is a high chief; going to television to tell people that there is no to zoning. I can’t believe this. Even if somebody is to say it. Is he the one to say it?” he said of the media businessman.

“The day the south makes a statement Nigerian will know that we’re not joking.

“What is necessary is to make sure that the party gets it right.

“We are assets, we are not liabilities. If we say we are going to support the party we will do it with everything we have.

“We are not in America where they do television campaigns no it’s not done here.

“When we come out we will choke them.

“So everybody should relax let the south do their proper homework and they will make a statement that will be beneficial to Nigerians and the PDP”.
