We Don’t Need Wike, Makinde To Win Rivers, Oyo, Others – Dele Momodu Says As He Reveals Tinubu’s State

The Director of Strategic Communications of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu has revealed that the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, does not need the help of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and other aggrieved governors to win their states.

Naija News reports that Momodu, who is a former presidential aspirant of the PDP, stated this on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.

According to the PDP chieftain, the main opposition party emerged winner in the Osun State Governorship Election despite going against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, who is from the state.

Asked if the PDP is in trouble and can do without Governor Seyi Makinde’s Oyo State, Governor Samuel Ortom’s Benue State, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s Abia State and Governor Nyesom Wike’s Rivers State, Momodu said: “Our party is not in trouble. I am a child of destiny and God is responsible for everything you are on earth. If it is God’s wish Atiku should be the next president 20 governors cannot stop him.

“It happened before our very eyes in Osun State. We counted on Governor Seyi Makinde to come but for whatever reason, he did not make it. We didn’t have Governor Wike when we were doing campaigns in Osun State.

“We were able to defeat the fire-power of Bola Tinubu who comes from Osun State. So it was very important that he should win Osun State but despite the absence of all those we were expecting to support us we won the election convincingly.

“That is why I keep begging Wike not to be found wanting on the day he is needed the most. Whether he likes PDP or not the party has done very well for him just as he has done well for the party.”
