The Rivers State government has denied alleged campaign posters making the rounds purporting that Governor Nyesom Wike wants to vie for presidency in 2023.
Commissioner of Information and Communication in the state Paulinis Nsirim in a statement said the governor has not informed anyone of his ambition.
The statement reads thus: “the attention of Governor Nyesom Wike has been drawn to campaign posters bearing his name which flooded some major streets of Abuja today.
For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Wike has not informed anyone that he is interested in the Presidency of this country.
This is certainly the handiwork of mischief makers who are threatened by the Governor’s rising political profile.
We are amused that political detractors will stop at nothing to see how they can distract Governor Wike’s visionary leadership.
For the umpteenth time, we wish to restate that Governor Wike is presently preoccupied with his mission to make Rivers State a better place and Destination of Choice.
All the puerile antics of political jobbers aimed at heating up the polity will surely fail.
Members of the public are therefore advised to discountenance the misinformation that is currently circulating in Abuja”.
