Secondus Reacts As Wike Fixes Date To Reveal Presidential Candidate Rivers People Will Vote

Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, has stated that imposing a presidential candidate on the people of Rivers State will be difficult.

He stated that the people of the state had always voted for the PDP and that they were too sophisticated to be forced to vote for any unknown political party in the upcoming presidential election.

Secondus was responding to the state governor, Nyesom Wike, who said on Thursday that he would reveal his presidential candidate for the February 25, 2023 election in January. In November, while campaigning for the PDP governorship candidate, he stated that he would soon inform the people of the state about the presidential candidate to vote for.

Wike and a group of disgruntled party members known as the Integrity Group have been at odds with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu. They insisted that they would only support the party in the presidential election if Ayu relinquished his seat to make way for a southerner. They also insisted on the return of power to the South in 2023.

The members of the group include four other aggrieved governors: Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State; a former National Vice Chairman (South) of the party, Chief Olabode George; former governors Donald Duke, Jonah Jang, Ayo Fayose, Olusegun Mimiko, and several others.
