The only solution to the crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party is to allow Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike to become the national chairman of the party, Senator Anietie Okon has said.
Okon, an elder statesman, is one of the founding members of the PDP. He said that a national chairman position would placate Wike.
Speaking during an interview in Uyo said, “The PDP should give governor Wike national Chairman position to placate him. That is the only solution to the crisis in the party. I know Wike has the capacity, he has what it takes to strengthen the party ahead of the 2023 elections.
“As a South South caucus member of the PDP, I am confident that the PDP will be stronger under Wike as the national chairman because of his wealth of experience and his leadership qualities. He is a widely accepted leader.
“I know he will not disappoint the party when given that position. The party needs a leader like Wike because he has what it takes to ensure that PDP is properly position PDP to win election”
When asked if Wike would accept the chairmanship position, Okon replied, “I know he will accept it.”
