Wike treated unfairly; PDP should address matter: Ondo party chieftain
Ifedayo Adedipe, Ondo Central senatorial candidate on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform, has urged the party’s leadership to address the crisis rocking the party since the conduct of its presidential primaries.
Speaking on selecting the party’s vice-presidential candidate, Mr Adedipe, who described Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers as one of the strong pillars of PDP, called on the party leadership to manage the post-primary election crisis properly and ensure he is well treated.
“Wike is a rocket party leader because when others ran away, he was there. So, it is natural to feel that he has been badly treated,” the senatorial candidate said. “And if you ask me, I feel he has not been well treated in the post-primary election arrangements.”
The senatorial candidate said he is optimistic that the crisis trailing the opposition party after its presidential primary election will soon be resolved.
However, he said the crisis will not stop PDP from winning the 2023 general elections.
In an interview on Sunday in Akure, he said the party would also win the Ondo Central Senatorial district due to the poor performance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
“I have never believed and still do not believe in incumbency factor because the so-called ruling party has no good record that can secure the victory.
“So, it’s left for the electorate to decide if their lives are better off; better secured or united under the ruling party.
“I count on the good sense of our people, and I think I am optimistic of winning the forthcoming election for Ondo Central Senatorial district,” he said.
