Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has disclosed why he has no regrets working against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election.

While speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Wike defended his decision not to support the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, saying it was all for justice and fairness.

“For presidential election, I said I am going to support equity, fairness and justice. In the other one, I am going to support my party and that is why we won the governor, National Assembly election.

“For presidential, I have no apologies because I don’t believe in injustice. Today people say ‘Discipline Wike, he did anti-party.’ I did not do anti-party,” Wike stated.

The aggrieved governors had demanded that Senator Iyorchia Ayu step down as PDP national chairman as their condition to throw their weight behind Atiku.
