Governors, Wike, Ortom, Ikpeazu & Ugwuanyi. |
Atiku Abubakar never breached PDP policy, it was Governor Wike and his allies like; Sen. Sam-Daddy Anyanwu, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, Governor Emmanuel Ortom of Benue State, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, that breached PDP agreement and should be held responsible.
When this game started, there were two clans of PDP presidential position in the South-East extraction and they are Pius Anyim and Peter Obi.
Ihedioha, Governor Diri of Bayelsa State, Tambuwal , Jonathan were on the side of Pius Anyim, with the objective of Pius Anyim becoming the presidential candidate while Tambuwal will deputize him.
Atiku Abubakar, Obaseke, Saraki and Okowa were on the side of Peter Obi, with the objective of Peter obi becoming the presidential candidate while Saraki deputize him. All these were on plan based on the party agreement after 2019 general election.
Later, Okezie Ikpeazu, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Emmanuel Ortom and Makinde ignored what was agreed to side Wike.
PDP intentionally brought national secretary to Anambra in order to strengthen Peter obi, but when Wike noticed it, he called on the two PDP Governors in the South-East to reject it and support Sam Daddy Anyanwu so as to pave way for them, which they did.
Remember that Peter Obi, Ihedioha, and Achike Udenwa refused and asked that the position of secretary should go to the appropriate place mentioned, but Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Okezie Ikpeazu refused, of course you know that they are the only two Governors in the South-East, their choice will not be easy to reject.
That was the place Peter Obi and Ihedioha started having doubt on the issue of the president. Remember that there was an agreement signed by the PDP stakeholders for the presidential ticket to be zone to South-East, but Governor Emmanuel Ortom being the Chairman of the zoning Committee aborted it and throw it open simply because he wants Wike against the initial plan.
Atiku Abubakar came into consideration when Peter Obi resigned from the race, because then there were so many atrocities in South-East PDP, courtesy of Sam Daddy Anyanwu, but the party leaders like Obaseke, Saraki, Tambuwal, Ihedioha and others who believe in equity, justice and fairness saw that the only person to get this ticket out from Wike is Atiku Abubakar, that was why all the south-south Governors fought against Wike even to the extent of vice presidential choice.
At initial stage, PDP Governors didn’t want Atiku Abubakar, that was why Atiku Abubakar encouraged Peter obi to go and pick form.
If we are to blame, we should blame the two PDP Governors from the South-East extraction that sold out for the interest of Wike as against South-East, Sam Daddy Anyanwu included.
Wike really dealt with Peter Obi presidential ambition, Wike and Sam Daddy Anyanwu went to the extent of disqualifying the Executives of PDP in Anambra State through Court, had it been that party Executives were allowed to vote, Anambra PDP Executives wouldn't have voted, by then what could have been Pete obi's faith in the race.
So to me, let's fight those that breached the agreement, and allow people who didn't do anything wrong.
Atiku Abubakar was not the one that throw the primary open, it was Emmanuel Ortom who was the Chairman of the zoning Committee that did it for the interest of Wike.
Remember that Atiku Abubakar, Saraki and Okowa once said that, if we want to go by the party constitution, we should Zone it to North, but if it's by the agreement made after 2019 election, it should be go to southern region that have not produce president which is South-East precisely, adding that it is only South-East and North-East that have not produce president, the four contestants agreed to step down if it is been zoned to South-East precisely, but Governor Emmanuel Ortom never did so, rather he threw it open in order to pave way for Wike.
