According to the netizen, when Doc Willie announced his vice presidential bid in 2022, he knew that the cardiologist will not win. He stressed that Doc Willie will allegedly lose the vice presidential race not because he does not have the capacity to fulfill the job but because of the alleged system of politics in the country.
