Wike Disowns 2023 Presidential Campaign Posters In Abuja
By Daniel Dafe
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has distanced himself from the campaign posters bearing his name that announced his 2023 presidential ambition in Abuja.
The posters are said to have flooded the streets of nation’s capital.
A statement signed by Paulinus Nsirim,
Commissioner for Information and Communications, on Monday, said: “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.”

Adding: “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.”
Continuing, the statement said: “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.”
He urged and advised members of the public “to discountenance the misinformation that is currently circulating in Abuja.”
