Tom FredFish, the chairman of PDP Advocates for Peace and Justice (PAPAJ) and a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has urged the party to zone its presidential ticket to the South-South, specifically to the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike, to see what he would do with it.

“The only way to bring peace to the party and honor the party’s long-standing zoning arrangement as suggested by the FCT Minister is to field Wike as its Presidential candidate,” FredFish said during a media parley in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State.

He stated that the recent establishment of a reconciliation committee by the PDP is a waste of time, saying, “What and who are they going to reconcile?”

“The PDP should not waste its time setting up committees for reconciliation without considering the zoning of its president to the South-South, and Wike is the only robust and credible candidate in the southern part of Nigeria that can win elections, especially against President Bola Tinubu. Besides that, without Wike, the PDP cannot stand.

“Taking a critical look at the current politicians in the PDP from the South, the governors are weak, as revealed by Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, the PDP NEC is handicapped as well, and the BOT headed by Senator Adolphus Wabara is in a coma.

“There is no one left in the PDP with the finance, reach, and access to the judiciary to ‘turn things around’ for the PDP like Nyesom Wike. He is the soul of the party, the saviour, redeemer, and solution to PDP’s misfortune.

“For someone that President Tinubu cannot do without, the PDP should be happy to have someone like Wike in the party and do everything possible to appease him to contest the 2027 presidential election even if they have to kneel down and beg for his forgiveness,” said Dr. FredFish.

The Chairman reaffirmed that Wike is the only person who can assist the PDP in preventing its governors and other high-ranking members from leaving the party.

He said: “Senator Saraki should stop wasting the party’s time with the hope that he would reconcile the PDP. He should recommend the immediate zoning of the ticket to the South-South because, with the influence of the FCT Minister within the APC hierarchy, it is easy for Wike to pull them away from President Tinubu back to the PDP.”

As Wike laments that he believes he is the only one eligible for the ticket, the PDP should give it to him and see what he does with it, the PDP chieftain chastised the FCT Minister for being duplicitous and hurting the PDP that helped shape him into the person he is today.

“Giving Wike the PDP presidential ticket is the right thing to do for Nigerians to know who Wike, who is now bootlicking President Tinubu, really is. Nigerians will see if he would resign as the FCT Minister and face his presidential ambition or if he would reject the ticket and continue to serve President Tinubu while destroying the party that brought him to the limelight,” he added.
