Nyesom Wike (rivers state governor) says he will begin campaigning for his preferred presidential nominee in January 2023.

Wike, who is a member of the PDP, has publicly expressed disapproval of Atiku Abubakar being the presidential candidate of his party. He says that a Northerner cannot take over from President Buhari in 2023.

On Thursday, Governor Wike spoke at the Obi-Akpor LGA flyover inauguration. He stated that he would mobilize people from "state to state" in support of his preferred candidate starting in January.

“From January next year, I will campaign to my people who they will vote for. So, all of you who have been in suspense and have been saying all kinds of things and abusing me, wait. January has come.

Not only will I tell them where they will vote, but I will also move from state to state and tell them why they should vote for people I think they should vote for.

Nothing will happen. So, all of you appearing on television to abuse me, don’t waste your saliva again. January will come. All those of you that tell people you have 40 shoes and 50 wristwatches, the time has come to convert those watches to votes.

Those of you who haven’t been stable, moving from one political party to another — you move from PDP to here, you move from here back to PDP; those of you, who is 2015, you said if they vote for PDP, they are voting for the insurgency, corruption — wait.

All of us will reply to tell Nigeria the things you said, how far are they now? Is it the same PDP or a new PDP?” he said

Ok
We're waiting
