Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State charged a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ahmed Makarfi, to ensure that the party wins in the North.<\/p>\n

Wike said Makarfi should ensure that PDP wins in Kano, Jigawa, Niger, and Kaduna states.<\/p>\n

He spoke at the commissioning of the Ogbunabali Sandfilled Area in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to Wike: \u201cWhat I want to advise Makarfi is that make sure that PDP wins in Kaduna State, wins in Kano, win in Niger, in Jigawa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf PDP wins there, then see if we will win here or not. Operation deliver your state, don\u2019t use any other state to add up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Makarfi had urged some presidential candidates to return to the PDP.<\/p>\n

He urged the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate Peter Obi and his New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, counterpart, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to return to the PDP.<\/p>\n

The former Kaduna State governor said Obi and Kwankwaso should swallow their ambitions and return to the PDP.<\/p>\n
