PDP May Float Gov Nyeson Wike As Its Presidential Candidate In 2023

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has given an early indication that it will float the current governor of Rivers State, Nyeson Wike, serving his second and last tenure as governor as its Presidential Candidate for the 2023 election.
A statement today, November 3, the opposition party’s spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, alluded to the fact that though the party has not decided who will be its Presidential Candidate In 2023, but that governor Wike’s rising profile is not contestable.
“Moreover, it is also imperative to counsel, without any equivocation, that enemies of our party, who feel threatened by the rising profile of Governor Nyesom Wike, should have a rethink on their incessant attacks on the governor.
“The PDP appreciates the contribution of Governor Wike, as well as all our governors, to the growth of our party and urge all members and supporters to ignore those seeking to cause disaffection in our ranks.
“The PDP states categorically that our governors are not divided along any lines of ambition towards 2023, neither is there any plot to stop the ambition of any of our members.
“For the avoidance of doubt, our party is yet to discuss the 2023 presidential election, overtly or covertly, at any time whatsoever.
“If anything, the PDP is currently working with Nigerians on how to win its elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states and will not be distracted by individuals who found themselves operating in the highest offices of the land but failing in governance.
“As a party, we are also working with our respective state governors and legislators across the country as they work hard, in line with the manifesto of our party, to improve on the welfare and development of Nigerians.”
