The People’s Democratic Party, PDP’s 2022 national convention has come and gone and a flagbearer has duely emerged.
As for those angry about Wike not being taken as VP, we have right to be angry or unhappy about it, but it is also good we know what transpired so that there won’t be unnecessary blame on the Party or Atiku.
Wike won all nominations and even majority support from Party leaders to be Vice President. It is very evident in the about 95% votes he had in the VP Nomination Committee.
According to report (though not verified), Atiku was not responsible, in fact, Atiku would have loved Wike to be his Vice, but unfortunately, the new Electoral Law spoilt the show.
As someone who contested in an election, you can not be taken to Deputize for the Candidate who emerge from that election and you can’t also go to another Party to Contest, this is why even APC can not take Ahmed Lawan as Vice to Tinubu.
The Electoral Law is unfortunately the reason and a sad one at that. However, I do not think the Governor Nyesom Wike himself has any problem with it, he has not for ones spoken about VP, it was Party that seriously needed his strength, energy and experience in the race, hence their call and support for him to be the Vice.
So I do not think many of the Party leaders are even happy that the new Electoral Law made it impossible.
