Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has warned the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar may lose the 2023 election.

According to him, the jangerso that should be out capaiging for teir candidate are hibernating in Abja loting agaist Rivers governor.

“All these rent seekers around him (Atiku) are not doing him any favour. Rather they are trying to make him not to win election. But if that is what they wish, I wish them good luck,” the governor said while Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila was commissioning the state assembly complex.

“Social media cannot make you win election. Election is about the people and by the people. Those in Abuja with you (Atiku), tell them to go home and campaign for you to win election. Leave Wike alone, enough is enough.”

He also took ime to debunk a couple of media reports about him.

“People have called me throughout this morning and said all kinds of things that I went to court against Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. I want to say categorically, if I have a reason of going to court, I will go to court, but I didn’t go to court,” he said.

“Yesterday too, they said I removed all PDP flags at Rivers State Government House. But I just have to say these things for Nigerians to know that I have kept quiet, and been busy delivering dividends of democracy for my party to win election in Rivers State.

“But I want to tell the candidate, it is the candidate’s group that are doing all these things. Let the world hear, they are the ones plotting all these things, thinking that they will spoil my name, they cannot.”

Wike and te PDP have been at war since he lost the party’s presidential primary, and missed grabbing the V.P slot.
