Sociopolitical activist Reno Omokri asserts that PDP’s failure to nominate Nyesom Wike as vice presidential candidate was a pivotal error, impacting election results.
In a post on X, Omokri stated, “The biggest mistake in the PDP during the #NigerianElections2023 was not giving Wike the vice presidential slot.
By how many votes did we lose to the APC? Less than two million.”
Omokri argues that with Wike as the running mate, PDP could have secured victory in Oyo, Abia, Rivers, Enugu, and Benue states, potentially altering the electoral outcome.
“In politics, you do not do what you like to do. You do what you have to do,” Omokri emphasized. Despite acknowledging Wike’s assertive nature, he contends that, under the circumstances, such a strong personality could have been an asset rather than a liability.
