2023: Wike reveals those in Aso Rock backing Atiku

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has said recent events has vindicated him over his initial public statement that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate for the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, and his supporters boasted that they do not need the G5 governors to win the election because they had been assured of victory by a cabal in the presidency.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the governor spoke at the Comprehensive Secondary School field, Ibaka Town, Okrika Island during the Rivers State PDP Campaign Flag-off Rally for Okrika Local Government Area (LGA) on Friday.

“I said they have been given assurance, but this election is not going to be based on that cabal assurance. It is on the people’s assurance,” Wike said.

Governor Wike however insisted that Atiku will still need Rivers State to win or he will lose the 2023 election.

According to him, “whether you like it or not, you must need Rivers State. If you don’t need Rivers State you must fail. If you say you don’t want us, you’ll fail. There are no two ways about it.”

  1. SO RIVERS STATE IS D ULTIMATE SIR? ELECTORAL HISTORY OF NIGERIA HAS NOT SHOWN THAT IF U EXCLUDE MASSIVE RIGGINGS WHICH MAY NOT BE AS USUAL THIS TIME AROUND, IT’S BETTER FOR U TO MAKE UR WAYS STRAIGHT NOW OR NEVER

    1. What way will he make his way straight. A betrayer, what wike is fighting will be a beneficial tomorrow if not today. This is a fight no southerner including the almighty south east who claimed they are the main stakeholders on nigeria nation . So if u don’t understand politics pls shut up lets here from reasonable politicians. Poverty of the mind is a dieses.

  2. He may actually need RIVERS STATE but probably NOT YOU WIKE or are you saying Wike is synonymous with RIVERS STATE ?

  3. Even if Wike decided to join force with Atiku tomorrow,River state is already Obidient And Wike Himself Knows that. Forget about his words and treats,he is Obidient deep inside him but due to political interest, don’t be surprised if Wike join force with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. But the bottom part of it is that, River state are already Obidient family including the executive Governor and his followers.
    So i will hereby,won APC And PDP to forget about River state come February 25th….

  4. Wike is a very greed human being i have ever seen in my LIFE, an anti igbo people, since he lost his primary election, he have be talking like a cow, foolish person, he fustrated obi Out of pdp, we the igbos knows
