Wike made this statement during a media discussion on Monday, indicating his stance against any potential candidacy from the North.

Wike said, “PDP cannot give the presidential ticket to the North (in 2027). Selfishness can kill a system.

“For example, if Mr President runs and wins in 2027, by 2031 APC will send their presidential ticket to the North.

“PDP will do what then? You will come back then and say since APC is sending it to the North, we should follow them and give it to the North?”
