I Have Told Rivers People Who To Vote For; I Don’t Have To Say It On Camera- Wike
Rivers state governor, Nyesome Wike has denied promising to announce his preferred presidential candidate on live television.
The Rivers governor had, in December 2022, said he would start campaigning for a presidential candidate by January.
While speaking on Wednesday during a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign in Port Harcourt, Wike said people of the state know who to support for the presidential election.
“I never told anybody one day, I will bring a camera and announce to you this is who will go. I said I will tell Rivers people the candidate they will support,” he said.
“I did not tell you the method of saying it. I did not tell you I will bring live coverage and say it. But Rivers people know.”
Since the PDP presidential primary, there has been a crisis in the party over calls for Iyorchia Ayu to step down from his position as national chairperson of the party.
