VIDEO: Why I Removed Atiku From Rivers State Campaign Poster – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has stated why he took Atiku Abubakar’s picture off the state’s campaign poster for the Peoples Democratic Party presidential nomination.

He asserted that Atiku chose the individuals he wanted to work with in Rivers State without consulting him.

Wike went on to say that he will only campaign for people who have asked him to do so and that Atiku has not asked him to campaign for him.

He said:  “The presidential candidate entered my state and picked members of the presidential council without the contribution of the whole governor. They said they don’t need me to campaign for them.

“I have never seen how people would disrespect a state like Rivers State and go and choose enemies of the state without the contribution of the governor.

“The senatorial and governorship candidate told us to campaign for them and that is why we are here to campaign for them.”

Wike revealed this while speaking at the inauguration of Rivers State PDP campaign council on Monday.

In line with this, PDP supporters online have called out Wike, claiming he is a “joker” and will soon be irrelevant.

@Enwagboso wrote: “One of the clearest memories Wike will ever have, in politics, is being a SORE LOSER. His ocean-sized hurt ego won’t deny #AtikuOkowa2023 victory. Nothing beats being prepared and ready. #Atiku is prepared and ready.”
