The PDP National Chairman further assured that, the current analogue government must be voted out to a more efficient digital government.
“This analogue government must be changed to a digital one. APC is going, and PDP in taking over. “Buhari is insensitive of the security challenges in the country. He is not aware that the Kano governor is deeply engrossed in corruption”, he said.

According to them the alliance is as a result of their good works. They described Wike as ‘Mr Excellent project’ stressing that their withdrawal from the race is to ensure that the elections in Rivers state is peaceful.
