Your presidential ambition dead on arrival -Wike hits Makinde
Nyesom Wike said on Thursday in Abuja that the presidential ambition of Governor Seyi Makinde is "already dead on arrival." Wike stated that Makinde's decision to join the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, in pursuit of his presidential ambition would fail.
Makinde declared his intention to run for the presidency on the platform of APM in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday. This declaration followed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, between Makinde's faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and APM. Wike maintained that Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has never spoken of any PDP-APM alliance, stressing that the narrative was merely a political imagination. Wike said, "Makinde cannot fly the flag of PDP."
The minister also reacted to comments credited to the Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara, concerning his continued membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, saying the governor has not told anyone to pity him. Wike asked, "Why are you saying problem when nobody has told you he has a problem?" He added, "The man has told you he still remains APC. So what is the problem now?"
