2023: Wike Joins Presidential Race

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has declared his presidential ambition for the 2023 election.

Gatekeepers News reports that Wike on Sunday made his intention known when he visited Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom at the Government House in Makurdi.

The Rivers Governor said he is the best man to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said, “To remove APC from power, I’m the person who can tell them enough is enough. We must take this power and I’m ready to take it for PDP.

“God is with us that’s why APC keeps failing every day.”

Wike urged stakeholders to give him their mandates and not to sell their votes, assuring that he has the capacity to, “face this evil government.”

If elected, according to him, security would be his topmost priority. He further queried those founding fathers who ran away from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and still want to be recognised.

Wike stressed that he takes issues of the party personal because he has nowhere to run to.

He said, “by the time you ran away, you sold your share as a founding father so you can no longer retain your position of founding fathers.

“I stood for this party. I work for this party since 1998. I have nowhere to run to and that’s why anything that happens to this party I take personally. I have never relented.”
