The Chairman League of Patriotic Lawyers, Abubakar Yesufu has advised former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar to pick Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike as his running mate.
Yesufu in a statement on Tuesday hailed the emergence of Atiku as Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP but cautioned Atiku to beware of those he described as” political scavengers” who want to reap where they did not sow.
He said the choice of Wike as running mate was neccessary to inject vibrancy, commitment and agility needed to brighten the chances of the PDP and Atiku to take over the federal government in 2023.
According to him, “the choice of Wike will calm frayed nerves and act as the suitable balm of gilead to whatsoever conspiracy or gang up theory that is being peddled by pundits. Other than Nyesom Wike’s showing at the keenly contested competition,he has consistently showed his love for the party bt ensuring the party remains relevant in the times of adversity for over seven years.”
” Abubakar Atiku had attested to Nyesom Wike’s pivotal role in upholding the virtues of the party a week ago.
” Wike’s developmental strides in Rivers State that earned him the name” Mr Project” by the Vice President,Yemi Osinbajo is an eloquent testimony to his fitness for the role.
” We want to caution that Turaki Adamawa should not listen to political scavengers who want to reap where they did not sow.
” Wike will bring to that ticket, vibrancy, commitment and agility to compliment Atiku’s role.
” We also commend the party for a flawless convention and wish them luck in the historic election ahead”
