Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has predicted that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike will lose the presidential election.
Wike paid Ganduje a visit in Kano on Monday as part of his (Wike’s) deliberations for the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential ticket (PDP).
“At the end of it (the election), you will lose but you will be a honourable loser,” the Kano state governor assured Wike in a viral video released after their meeting.
“I like good losers because they show courage, and because you’re doing it gently, you’ll live long enough to fight again.”
“When your opponents, those who are opposing you, refer to you as a ‘Wicked Wike,’ you know you’re in trouble.
“When your opponents, those who are opposing you, refer to you as a ‘Wicked Wike,’ you know you’re in trouble.” Ashe (so) this Wike is not evil, but this Wike is the Wise Wike, as I listen to speeches around the country. So, wise Wike, I congratulate you. Thank you, and may God continue to bless you.”
The Rivers State governor had previously stated that if Ganduje had opted to enter the contest to rescue Nigeria, he would most likely have abandoned his presidential ambitions.
“Some of us will swiftly withdraw our ambitions if Ganduje runs for president,” Wike allegedly remarked. “But thank God he is not running, and I’m confident he would help me make it,” Wike reportedly said.
He went on to say that disagreements between parties should not cause them to work against the country, but rather that they should work together to salvage the country.
