The presidential aspirants and Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has warned the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) not to give its presidential ticket for the anticipated 2023 general elections to a person who will protect the interests of the few wealthy ones.
Wike who spoke at a grand reception put together for him by the people of Kalabari ethnic nationality at the Abalama School field in Asari Toru Local Government Area, said that PDP should give its sole presidential ticket to a candidate who has the interest of Nigerians at heart.
“No amount of gang-up can make PDP give somebody who will want to run an election for the interest of some big men, and not for all Nigerians.
“Anybody who wants to be the candidate of PDP must be a candidate for the interest of Nigerians.”
According to him, the main opposition party would not be browbeaten into surrendering its presidential ticket to selfish politicians who would serve only the interest of the wealthy few in Nigeria.
Governor Wike said that Nigeria will shake when the south finally makes its decisions regarding the 2023 presidential election public.
Wike said that political leaders in the south will soon come out with their decision concerning the country’s number one position.
“The day the south will speak, Nigeria will shake. We believe in the unity of this country, but nobody can threaten us. Nobody should threaten us. We believe in the unity of Nigeria and unity of Nigeria must continue.”
