The biggest mistake PDP made at the 2023 elections was not giving Wike the vice presidential slot – Reno Omokri

Social commentator, Reno Omokri has emphasized that the Peoples Democratic Party’s major misstep in the 2023 presidential election was not nominating Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, as the vice presidential candidate.

Omokri believes that Wike’s inclusion would have secured PDP’s victory by clinching key states like Oyo, Abia, Rivers, Enugu, and Benue.

In a post on X, he wrote: 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?

“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.

“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.”
