2023: Wike may work against Atiku, PDP — Deji Adeyanju

Human Rights activist, Deji Adeyanju has claimed that Nyesom Wike could work against PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The convener of the Concerned Nigerian movement, Deji Adeyanju stated this while reacting to the newfound friendship between the Rivers State Governor, Wike, and the allies of the All Progressive Congress Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Rivers State Governor had invited the likes of Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila to commission projects in Rivers State.

Given this, Deji Adeyanju, while in a chat with Daily Post, stated that politicians are selfish and care about their political interests and self-preservation, adding that this can see Wike ignore Atiku and PDP.

Adeyanju said,

“There is the possibility that Wike will work against Atiku and PDP because all politicians care about is their political interest and self-preservation, but in essence, nobody can tell Rivers people who they should vote for or not at this level.

“But for political expediency and other reasons, you need a governor who can galvanize people so that there would be massive voting so that people will not be disenfranchised.

“The numbers can be significant if the governor can help suppress votes or increase votes. These are some of the issues you need a governor and party for, so when it’s not working, there is the possibility that the people’s will can be suppressed.”
