PDP crisis: I’ll disclose my preferred presidential candidate in Jan. – Wike

The Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has said he will make clear which presidential candidate to mobilise votes for in January 2023.   

Wike spoke during the inauguration of the Rumuokwurusi-Elimgbu Flyover (10th flyover) in Rumuokwurusi Town, Obio-Akpor LGA of the state on Thursday.

Wike is the leader of the aggrieved G-5 of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that are insisting that the party’s national chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu,  must resign before they would work for the party’s victory in 2023.

“So from January next year, I will campaign to my people who they will vote for.  So, all of you who have been in suspense, who have been saying all kinds of things, abusing me, wait. January has come.

“Not only will I tell them where they will vote, I will move from state to state and tell them why they should vote for the people I think they should vote for. Nothing will happen.

“Let me also use the opportunity to advise those of them who said that they are our brothers in Abuja. This 2023 election will confirm to us in Rivers State who are those that have influence on voters.

“Who are those that their people will listen to and vote. It is not only for you to be in Abuja and tell them whatever you’re telling them. Come home because our polling booths are not going to be in Abuja,” Wike said.
