With the month of January coming to an end, Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike failed to announce the presidential candidate he and his allies will be backing in the 2023 presidential election as he had earlier promised.

It will be recalled that Wike had in December last year said he will make his preferred presidential candidate known in January 2023. He also said that he will campaign for his adopted candidate nationwide.

“From January next year, I will campaign to my people whom they will vote for,” Wike said when he commissioned the tenth flyover by his administration in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers.

“So, all of you who have been in suspense, who have been saying all kinds of things, abusing me, wait. January is here.

“Not only will I tell them (my people) whom to vote, I will move from state to state (for campaigns) and why they should vote for the person, nothing will happen,” he said.

Speaking with our correspondent yesterday, a member of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) who asked not to be named said Governor Wike knows that doing so may lead to his suspension by the PDP national leadership as it amounts to anti-party activities.

Wike and his allies are being careful that if they launch out by announcing a presidential candidate, the party’s hammer may fall on them”.

“The party is supreme and if they announce any other presidential candidate, they will be suspended. Forget all what Wike is saying, he is not bigger than the party. He is just one individual and can be sanctioned.

“Just like the party did recently with respect to Ekiti PDP, aside suspending the governors, they can also suspend the candidates they are backing for Senate, House of Representatives”.

“When Wike made the statement, he never took it into cognizance that he can be suspended based on the constitutional provisions of the party. However, a member of the NWC granted an interview recently where he quoted from the PDP constitution that if they announce a presidential candidate aside the party’s flagbearer, they may be sanctioned”.

“The truth there is nothing Wike can do if he is sanctioned. The best he can do is to go and challenge it in court and nobody knows where the litigation will end. By the end of the matter, the election would have been over and he and his candidates may lose out” he said.

Way to go. G- stringers are not bigger than PDP. They will be suspended and heaven won't fall

Kikikiki... Story.

Wike is scared of OBIdients.. Period.

He wanted the G-5 to endorse Tinubu but Ortom prefers Peter Obi.That was why he quickly endorsed Peter Obi when they returned from London.

GSM tested the mic last year but didn't like the response.

No one told him to rescind the decision.
The other SE governors are anywhere-belle-face.

It's a game of chess, let's see who checkmates who.

If Wike supports Atiku he becomes irrelevant

If Wike supports Tinubu he loses the support of South South, South East and the North. He becomes a betrayer to PDP and only supports Tinubu because of money.

His surebet is to support Obi and remain relevant regardless of the outcome of the election

Let wike the barking dog try it he will know what baba take pass pikin

Chai

Wike is a bingo..

He sabi bark.. and he no get teeth.

He said January.. he said Tuesday..

Wike is a talkative

Confused man. Wike is as confused as this statement below 👇


What can one can, can not can!

Where was Wike when the likes of Atiku formed PDP in 1998? Where was he when Ayu the liar was Senate President in 1992? It's not by gra gra my brother

Seems wike just makes noise for no reason.

Wike is not afraid of any sanction from the dead party PDP. He only considering his candidates that may be affected if he declares that's why he is holding back. Secretly he is doing the damage

On a serious note,if you were Wike would you support a candidate that will definitely lose after you have made so many enemies?
Wike is too intelligent to support Obi.

Emm, Check my profile if you need help with your personal statement, statement of purpose, thesis, dissertation, or assignment.

Only stupid IPOB believe an IPOB can be elected as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Head or tail, Governor Nyesom Wike and his hoardes of so called G-5 integrity governors have stupidly beat themselves into a suicidal political cul-de-sac.

The only viable option they have is to channel their support towards the Peter Obi - Yusuf Datti ticket. The most popular and well balanced combination.

Wike is a clueless loser, liar and empty chest beater. He has nothing to offer politically. No one take him serious at all cos’ he’s not a man of his words. He’s just a clueless attention seeker. Wike will be watching Atiku swearing in ceremony on May 29th in Eagle square. Wike is a clueless selfish person and useless treasury looter.

He talks too much with less action. Agreed
