Reno Omokri, a sociopolitical activist, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, made the largest error during the 2023 presidential election by failing to select Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, as the vice presidential candidate.
Omokri said that if Wike had won Oyo, Abia, Rivers, Enugu, and Benue states, the PDP would have won the presidential election.
Metrowatchxtra.com recalls that President Bola Tinubu beat the Peoples Democratic Party’s Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi to win the presidential election.
Omokri posted on X: “The biggest mistake we made in the PDP during the #NigerianElections2023 was not giving Wike the vice presidential slot of our party. By how many votes did we lose to the APC?
“Less than two million. If we had a running mate like Wike, we would have gotten that collectively from Rivers, Oyo, Abia, Enugu, and Benue with the G-5. In politics, you do not do what you like to do.
“You do what you have to do. Under normal circumstances, an alpha personality like Wike would be too assertive to be a follower. I would not even support it if all things were equal.”
