I\u2019m very sure. The signs are there. This Nigeria, sometimes I wonder why we belabour ourselves on certain things. Look at it very well. If you work with a system, you must understand that system \u2014 the pattern,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen that issue came out between the governors and the legislators, I just laughed and I told myself \u2018why are you worried about this?\u2019 The president will not sign it \u2014 it\u2019s dead on arrival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey merely created that let there be a decision. They have now passed it on to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/02\/direct-primaries-reps-summon-inec-chairman-over-n500bn-cost\/\">INEC<\/a>. When has INEC become Buhari that will say you can do this or you cannot do this \u2014 to choose which law is good or bad?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat they are pushing is for INEC to come up and say \u2018look, the cost implication will be this\u2019. And then Buhari will now dwell on that and say \u2018based on security implications or the cost of this, I will not do this\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, the president has always said so many things; that he wants to leave a legacy for Nigeria. One of the legacies he wants to leave is to conduct a transparent election. In 2019, why did they not sign the electoral amendment that called for this electronic transmission? The same thing is going to happen. They have told him \u2018your party will be affected; your party is gone\u2019. I know the president will not sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking on the 2023 presidential election, Wike said Nigerians are \u201ctired\u201d of the APC and are waiting for the opposition party to redeem the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet nobody come and tell you that in arriving at a presidential candidate that it will be easy. No way, it can never be. You know, there are two types of turbulences. There is turbulence that will not crash, which is a normal turbulence. There are turbulences that there is likely to be a crash,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur own turbulence in PDP is the normal turbulence, which I believe we will get through it, but APC turbulence is a turbulence that is likely to lead to a crash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPDP has redeemed its position towards what Nigerians are expecting, because Nigerians are tired of what is going on in the country. So, they need an alternative, and the only alternative as it is today is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, if you want to run for presidency under PDP, I will not support somebody who\u2019ll just want to bear the name of former presidential candidate; I will not agree to that. I must see that you are prepared for it, and to confront this evil called APC.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has made it known that President Muhammadu Buhari will not sign the electoral act amendment bill into law.
