Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has again expressed his mind why he is not supporting his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 presidential election.
He said; “It is an insult for another Northerner to emerge as the country’s leader after President Muhammadu Buhari.”
“Those agitating for narratives are insulting the sensibility of Nigerians, they do not promote national unity.”
“You play on people’s intelligence; you say Nigeria is not ripe for muslim-muslim ticket, I agree. But Nigeria is ripe for presidency to remain in one zone? I mean, just look at the insult. You blow hot and cold.”
“The North will be cheating other regions by producing Buhari’s successor in 2023.”
“Most of you just sit there; you don’t ask yourselves questions. Somebody continues to sell these kinds of cheap ideas. You don’t ask the person, I agree with what you are saying, but look at what we are saying here.”
“Your party wants the presidency to go to the same zone where President Muhammadu Buhari is coming from. Who is cheating who?”
Governor Wike stated this on Sunday, December 11th, 2022 in a statement by his media aide, Kelvin Ebiri.
