PDP chieftain slams Masari, says, Wike, Govs, can’t vote for Tinubu, APC

Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan, on Friday slammed Ibrahim Masari of the All Progressives Congress over claims that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and some PDP governors will work for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for the 2023 president race while remaining in the PDP.

Ologbondiyan on Channels Television on Friday was of the view that the claim by Masari was not true, saying that PDP governors have seen the failure of the APC and won’t vote for a failed party.

The former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP had declared: “The assertion by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s placeholder, Ibrahim Masari, that PDP governors will vote for All Progressives Congress candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is lame. It is an assertion that is not predicated on fact and as such, it cannot be taken seriously by Nigerians.

“The PDP governors have no reason and have no basis to go and vote for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in view of the fact that Nigerians have already distanced themselves from the processes of the All Progressives Congress and Nigerians, upon whom the APC has become a burden in the last seven years, are looking for every way and means to reject them at the poll.

“So, it does not add up that governors of PDP, who have seen the failure of the All Progressives Congress, will vote for the APC.

“Members of the PDP have dismissed the assertion because there is no truth in it; it is lame.”

Tinubu had met with Wike in London. Some PDP governors, who include Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, and Ikpeazu Okezie of Abia State, participated in the meeting.
