2023: Gov. Wike Distances Self From Campaign Posters

Nyesom Wike, the Rivers State governor, has blamed mischief makers for his 2023 presidential campaign posters spotted in some parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.

Wike, in a statement issued by the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Paulinus Nsirim, disassociated himself from the posters.

Campaign posters of the governor with the inscription, ”Rescue Nigeria 2023 from Insecurity, Poverty, Bandits and Killing”, were said to have sighted on Herbert Macaulay Road, in the FCT.

However, Nsirim maintained that Wike is currently preoccupied with his mission to make Rivers a better place and destination of choice.

He said: “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 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.”

Nsirim, while advising Nigerians to discountenance the campaign posters, added that the antics of political jobbers aimed at heating up the polity will surely fail.
