Senator Orji Kalu has hailed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Nyesom Wike, describing him as
“the winner of the game for defying all odds to come second”.

In a Facebook post, Kalu said though he’s a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Wike deserved accolades.

He commended the Rivers helmsman for his performance,courage and tenacity,his doggedness even though he lost at the
just concluded PDP presidential primaries.

Wike lost the PDP 2023 ticket to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

On Monday, Atiku visited him and other contestants, including Bukola Saraki and Anyim Pius Anyim, in Abuja and agreed to work together to retake power from the APC.

The ruling party will conduct its presidential primary this weekend.

At the PDP primary, Atiku polled 371 votes; Wike, 237; former Senate President Saraki, 70; votes; Akwa Ibom Governor Emmanuel Udom, 38.
