Rivers state Governor, Wike has put the blame of 2015 defeat to APC on those PDP presidential aspirants who have expressed their desire to run for the party’s ticket in 2023.

Wike made the statement at a meeting with PDP stakeholders in Makurdi, Benue state, on Sunday, where he also declared that he will run for the office of the President of Nigeria under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Those who want to be president now were the problems of the party in 2015. They ran away when the party needed them most. But I have stood and worked for this party. I have nowhere to run to because I take it personal that the party should not die. And I challenge anyone in a debate what they did for PDP,” Wike said.

While seeking delegates’ support ahead of the PDP’s presidential primary, the governor stated that he has all he needs to defeat the All Progressives Congress.

Governor Wike noted that when some of those seeking the party’s ticket departed to form a gang with the founders of APC, he and others stayed in the party and kept it alive.
