Nyesom Wike has told the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, that he would be in for a shocker if they fail to do the right thing ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The Rivers State Governor was responding to the questions of what becomes of the main opposition party if the presidential election is staged today while speaking to select TV stations on Friday, basically about the crisis rocking the party.
“If we take advantage of the support Nigerians are given us. And that advantage is to do the right thing [we’ll win] if the election holds tomorrow being Saturday.
“What Nigerians are saying is that this political [APC] that promised us heaven and earth, we’re not seeing it.
“The country has never been as polarised as this before. And then, instead of you to capitalise on that by doing the right thing so that you can continue to enjoy the support and win the election… if the election is conducted tomorrow (Saturday) and they allow themselves to [remain] in this way, Nigerians cannot trust us.
“That is why we’re taking it upon ourselves not to allow this opportunity to go. If they [waste] this opportunity Nigerians have given us, they’ll pay dearly for it…if we’re there saying ‘APC has not done well’ then we’re going in for a shocker,” he said.
