I’ve No Apologies For Working Against PDP In 2023 Presidential Election — Wike

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.

According to Sun report, Wike was the subject of controversy in 2023 when he partnered with four other PDP governors, Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) against Atiku’s presidential bid.

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