(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State and Chairman of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will beg his counterpart from Rivers State, Nyesom Wike and his group.
Emmanuel stated that the party had made a mistake concerning the way it went about the presidential elections and that it is why it would beg Wike and his group.
He stated this while speaking on the rift between the Wike-led group and the party.
According to him he and other members of the party are ready to prostrate before the aggrieved “big men” in the party for PDP to emerge victorious in the 2023 elections.
“We’ll resolve all issues. You can’t let anybody go in an election; every vote matters.
“Every single person is important in politics, not to talk of when you’re talking about very big men. Small men like us will go and prostrate ourselves before them: please oh, big men, don’t let us down.
“I’m into this game to win. I don’t think anybody will get to this point and be doing permutations. What kind of permutation?”
“But they are not unhappy with me as Udom Emmanuel. Did they tell you they were unhappy with the party? Four of them are candidates of the party. They hold tickets of the party. They’re members of the party; you are getting it wrong.
“So, certainly, we all make mistakes. I must also confess as a party, we’ve made mistakes, and as individuals, we’ve made mistakes. But these mistakes, I can assure you, will not break us,” he told ThisDay.
