According to Omokri, the PDP’s significant mistake was not selecting Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, as their vice presidential candidate.

As reported by DAILY POST, Omokri believes that Wike’s candidacy for vice president could have significantly altered the election’s outcome.
He argues that Wike’s influence and political strength would have been pivotal in securing victories for the PDP in key states like Oyo, Abia, Rivers, Enugu, and Benue. These states are crucial in terms of their electoral significance and could have potentially swayed the overall result in favor of the PDP.informationguidenigeria
This critique comes in the aftermath of the presidential election, where Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerged victorious, defeating PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
Omokri’s comments reflect a broader analysis and introspection within the PDP and among political observers regarding the party’s strategy and decisions during the election campaign.
Omokri posted on X: “The biggest mistake we made in the PDP during the #NigerianElections2023 was not giving Wike the vice presidential slot of our party. By how many votes did we lose to the APC?NYSC Portal
“Less than two million. If we had a running mate like Wike, we would have gotten that collectively from Rivers, Oyo, Abia, Enugu, and Benue with the G-5. In politics, you do not do what you like to do.JAMB Portal
“You do what you have to do. Under normal circumstances, an alpha personality like Wike would be too assertive to be a follower. I would not even support it if all things were equal.”
