He urged urged the delegates who emerged to vote him at the November 29, governorship primary, stressing that the party needs a competent candidate to defeat APC.
Barrister Wike said the same aspirants clamoring for the cancellation of the ward congresses went to court, tried to burn the party secretariat and tried to hijack the ward congress committee, but lost on all counts.
He said: “The opposition party know me and they are afraid. That is why the opposition is doing everything to stop me from contesting. We shall defeat them in the election.
“People who are not members of the PDP have been paid by the opposition for the purpose of distracting us, but we shall win.”
