Dele Momodu, a PDP chieftain, says Nyesom Wike has yet to recover from his defeat in the 2022 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Momodu said Wike was disappointed because he failed to secure the party’s presidential ticket.
“The first issue was that he (Wike) lost the primary in 2022 to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and since then, it seems he’s not been able to get over such disappointment,” Momodu said.
”Because Wike was so sure that he was going to get the ticket and he was going to be the next president of Nigeria.
”So, he was pained and that’s natural. Anyone who has ever lost anything in life would always feel very bad. So you can’t hold him for that.

“We expected that as months climbed over months, that he would get over it. But, he never got over it.”
However, Momodu said, “If I was in the shoes of Nyesom Wike, the moment the president intervened positively, I expected him to step back.”
