Not less than 5000 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) youths from the Southwest have thrown their weight behind Governor Nyesom Wike ahead of the 2023 presidential election..
The youths said with Governor Wike in the picture as a running mate, the PDP stands a better chance than it ever had to remove the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the centre of national politics, The Nation reports.
They argued that without gainsaying, the Rivers governor, with laudable contributions both in the PDP's affairs and in his leadership in the state is a formidable force for any other party.

Adebomojo said:
“We urge our great party to ensure that Governor Nyesom Wike is fielded as a Vice Presidential candidate and Running mate to whoever emerged the Presidential candidate come 2023.
“We came to this conclusion, after a painstaking consideration of the indices that led to the party’s defeat in the 2019 Presidential election, despite the glaring failure of the Buhari/APC led administration.
“Also, there is no gainsaying that Governor Wike has done excellently well in Rivers State such that he has been able to relegate the APC to the precipice which the unfortunate party really belongs."
Meanwhile, the foremost Nigerian opposition party (PDP) on Thursday, March 11, during a Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting agreed to appease and bring back all aggrieved members.
The PDP said it was doing this already through the Bukola Saraki-led reconciliation and strategy committee.
