Securing Wike as PDP's Presidential Candidate is a Justified Decision - FredFish (paraphrased)
Our sources report that Tom FredFish, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Chair of the PDP Advocates for Peace and Justice (PAPAJ), has taken a strong stand, urging the party to zone its Presidential ticket to the South-South - with Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as the preferred choice to resolve lingering internal issues and honor the longstanding zoning agreement.
During a recent gathering in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, FredFish emphasized that Wike, a hard-hitting and credible contender, is the key to restoring peace within the PDP and securing victory at the polls.
In FredFish's view, the critical resolution to the party's internal strife lies in nominating Wike to run for the presidency in 2027. He points out that the party's recent attempts at reconciliation have little merit when the crucial zoning of the ticket to the South-South region is overlooked.
Acknowledging that Wike has the potential to stand tall against current President Bola Tinubu, FredFish argued that, in the common PDP's absence of strong political leaders, Wike presents the hope for the party's revitalization.
Additionally, FredFish Goes as far as blasting the current PDP politicians from the South as weak, criticizing the party's National Executive Committee, and questioning the vitality of the Board of Trustees headed by Senator Adolphus Wabara.
He contends that Wike, the only formidable and credible candidate in the southern region of Nigeria, could steer the party back on course.
However, FredFish criticized the party for forming a reconciliation committee, labeling it a waste of time and questioning, "What and who are they going to reconcile?"
Moreover, FredFish asserts that Senator Saraki should stop wasting the party's time with reconciliation efforts, urging an immediate zoning of the ticket to the South-South as the only solution to halt governors and other prominent members from defecting from the party.
He scathingly pointed out that Wike is the only politician in the PDP with the financial backing, reach, and enough access to the judiciary to revitalize the party's prospects. Allegedly, Wike is the life force of the PDP, the salvation, the redemption, and the ultimate solution to the party's woes.
Furthermore, FredFish encouraged the PDP to seek Wike's forgiveness and convince him to run for the presidency even if it means groveling at his feet.
However, FredFish has also condemned Wike for his allegedly duplicitous actions, which led to the party's downfall, implying that the beleaguered PDP needs to examine Wike's true character before wholeheartedly rallying behind him.
