Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has asked electorates in the State not to vote for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 general elections.
Governor Wike said that they can vote for all other candidates of the party, from governor down to local government councilors, even as he asked them to wait until he reveals where they would be casting their vote for the presidential election.
The governor gave the directives today, November 29 during the commissioning of the Rukpoku-Rumuapu-Izo-Ogbodo-
“You will vote for the party that has worked for you. You know those you will vote for – vote for our Gubernatorial candidate, vote for our House of Representatives, vote for our senatorial candidate, vote for our House of assembly candidates.
“Those we have mentioned now, make sure you vote for them. For the other one (presidential election), we will meet at our houses very soon and decide where we are going.”
Governor Wike and the other four Governors of the PDP have since fallen out with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over the retention of Iyorchia Ayu as the National Chairman.
