I’ll reveal my presidential candidate in January – Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said he will make his preferred presidential candidate known in January 2023.

Wike stated this while speaking during the commissioning of the Rumukurishi flyover in Port Harcourt on Thursday.

Wike has been at loggerheads with the presidential candidate of PDP Alh. Atiku Abubakar.

This is sequel to the refusal of Wike and his four aggrieved colleagues, namely Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi   Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Seyi Makinde (Oyo) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) to be appeased despite entreaties.

Wike and his colleagues have insisted that the resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, remains the irreducible minimum demand for peace to reign.

The governor also said he would campaign for his adopted candidate across Nigeria.

He said, “From January next year, I’ll campaign to my people who they’ll vote for.

“So, all of you who’ve been in suspense, who’ve been saying all kinds of things, abusing me, wait. January is here.”

He added, “I’ll move from state to state [for campaigns], and why they should vote for the person, nothing will happen.”
