What the former Vice President proposed at the PDP meeting was that if the party\u2019s presidency should be zoned to the South, it must be to the South-East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Peter Obi still in the PDP, and following Atiku\u2019s statement that he already had his choice of who to support in the South-East, Wike became jittery and started abusing Obi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlindfolded by his overweening disposition, and the fact that he wanted to contest the PDP Presidential primary, Wike positioned his hangers on, who later formed the so-called G-5 to influence the PDP Presidential slot to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActing on Wike\u2019s satanic script, the G-5 governors and their loyalists kicked against Atiku\u2019s proposal of zoning the Presidency to the South-East, and instead voted that it should be thrown open. This was what took place and when it was thrown open, anyone at that point could contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn preparing himself for the elusive 2023 PDP Presidential slot, Wike, like a dog let loose out of its cage, went on rampage, abusing Atiku, and others, boasting in the Church that the slot is just for him and nobody born by a human being can wrestle it from him after forcing Peter Obi out of PDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is on record that Peter Obi didn\u2019t even let Atiku know of his intention to leave the PDP until he jumped ship to the Labour Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven on the venue of the PDP Presidential primary, Wike was very much convinced that he would defeat Atiku hands down, but that was the thinking of a neophyte and greenhorn when it comes to party and national politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTill date, Wike is yet to recover from the political upper-cut and psychological trauma as a result of his decision to jump into the ring to engage his father (Atiku) in a bout, not knowing the stuff that Atiku is made of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter losing the PDP Presidential primary woefully to Atiku, in a contest he called for, and having lost out in his bid to become the PDP Vice Presidential candidate, Wike went ahead with his misguided and lilly-livered G-5 Group to ensure that PDP lost the 2023 election.
