The 2023 election was characterized with violence and rigging. However even with that, the PDP would have easily won the election had the party not commit political suicide during and after her primary.

A repeat of the Atiku/ Obi ticket or an Obi/ Tambuwal ticket would have done the job for PDP. However while the leaders of PDP were eager to have Atiku as their candidate, they treated Obi as a politician with no political value.

When Obi discovered that PDP will give Atiku the ticket and are also eager to give the V.P ticket to either Okowa, Wike or Udom, he decided to leave the party. He rightly believes that PDP is undermining the SE. The party did nothing to persuade him to stay. Wike even insulted him on a live T.V programme.

With Obi out of the party and Atiku winning the primary, the issue of who will be the V.P to Atiku came up.

Obi and Wike were the most formidable southern politicians in PDP before Obi left . Hence naturally Wike should have gotten the V.P ticket but PDP was determined to commit suicide. The ticket was given to Okowa.

Atiku wanted a have a weak V.P like Osinbajo but he forgot he does not have the political value of Buhari in the north. Buhari would have clear the entire northern states .

A Wike as Atiku deputy would have ensure PDP won at least 4 states in SS. He would frustrate the rigging machinary of APC. Wike would have also help Atiku to checkmate Obi's popularity in SE. He would provide fund and logistics to PDP in SE states.

PDP threw away the weapon of War called Wike and APC picked it up and used it to rig against PDP and Labour party.

Hence nobody should blame Peter Obi , the SE or the Obidients for the poor performance of PDP and the rigged victory of Tinubu. For 24 years, the SE worked for the PDP but the party refuses to appreciate the support of the people of SE.

You are right by 80 percent. The PDP allowed Atiku's greed and Wike's selfishness destroy the party's chances completely.

You just echoed my thought on this election.
