Governor Nyesom Wike said Rivers state is undecided on the candidate to support for presidency in the 2023 election.
The governor stated this during the inauguration of 319 ward and 32 constituency liaison officers in Government House, Port Harcourt on Monday.
According to Wike, the Rivers PDP governorship candidate, all the House of Representatives, Senate and House of Assembly candidates would win in the 2023 general elections.

“PDP will win our State. I am not hiding it as far as the governorship, House of Reps, Senate and State Assembly are concerned. The other one we have not decided until the right thing is done,” he said.
Recall that Wike earlier described the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Iyorchia Ayu as ungrateful over his comments against the Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State during a press briefing at his private residence in Rumiprikon, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Sunday.
The Rivers governor also described as unfortunate Ayu’s comment claiming that he has the power to stop Ortom’s senatorial ambition and those of others eyeing various positions on the platform of the party.
According to Wike, it was unfortunate for Ayu to speak against Ortom who helped him to become the party’s chairman because the governor told him what he was not doing right.

Reacting to Ayu’s comment on sacking, Wike said the issue was not about anyone sacking Ayu but honouring his promise if he has any integrity left in him.
He said, “It is most unfortunate. Nobody has said Ayu should be sacked. The word sacking and keeping to your promise are two different things,” the governor said.
The Rivers state governor said his camp’s position remained that since the party’s constitution said there must be zoning for elective and political offices, adding that there is no way the presidential candidate and the party’s national chairman will come from one zone.
