Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has likened the All Progressives Congress (APC) to an aircraft that will face severe turbulence and eventually crash before arriving at its destination.
The governor, who also acknowledged that his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would face turbulence when choosing its 2023 presidential candidate, however, said the challenges of PDP would not lead to collapse.
Speaking on African Independent Television (AIT) on Thursday, Wike explained that only a courageous person with the capacity and vision to salvage the country would be supported to fly the presidential ticket of the PDP in the 2023 general election.
He said though the party was yet to decide the geographical zone of its candidate, such a person must have the capacity to confront the tactics of the APC.
He said the process to determine who PDP would field as its presidential candidate will be a turbulent one.
He said: “Let 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 have a crash, which is a normal turbulence. There is turbulence that is likely to lead to a crash.
