The Governor of Rivers State, Mr Nyesom Wike, has again urged the Peoples Democratic Party to put him forward as its presidential candidate in 2023, saying he is the only one capable of dislodging the ruling All Progressives Congress from power.

According to him, what Nigeria needs now is an honest president and that person is none other than him.

Wike, who had since declared his aspiration to run for the office of the nation’s president in 2023, spoke in Niger State, where he went to seek for his ambition.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Rivers governor met with PDP stakeholders in Niger State at the party’s secretariat in Minna.

He said there was nothing wrong in the party agreeing on a consensus presidential candidate if the decision was reached based on equity, justice and fairness.

He said, “I am here today to tell you that I have made myself available to run for the seat of the President of this country under our party, the PDP. I have been a member of the PDP since 1998; I have never left the party and I will never leave.

“I can become the President if I get the mandate of delegates to make me the flag-bearer. The country needs someone who will see white and call it white and (see) black and call it black and that person is me.”

Wike, who scored the present istration low in the security of lives and property, lamented that under the watch of the APC government killers had overrun the country.

“People can no longer sleep and travel without the fear of being kidnapped; farmer can no longer go to farm,” he said, describing Niger State as one of the worst hit by insecurity.

Responding, the Chairman of the Niger State PDP, Mr Tanko Beji, thanked Wike for standing by the state party when they needed him to reconcile , adding that the reconciliation had made the party more united and stronger to reclaim power in the state come 2023.

Beji said the party and the country needed someone who would give it a redirection and change the reward system, adding that the state would provide a level playing field for everybody to participate.

In their separate remarks, Senator Zainba Kure and Mr Jerry Gana, described Wike as a “gender-friendly leader who could give women the opportunity to contribute and add value to the growth and development of the state and the country.”

We have heard sir. Wishing you all the best in your political struggles...

WIKE is more than capable to rule Nigeria

All politicians are back stabbers. No one is honest in politics.

Does naija really need an honest president ?

I like Wike, he is Loyal to his party since day one just like Jagaban

He is quite charitable just like Asiwaju of Lagos

He is brutally honest without caring about whose horse is gored another perfect attribute of Jagaban


However Wike doesn't have the mental capacity, the right temperament the connection, the economic development accumen to handle a multhi ethnic, multi cultural, multi religious, diverse , most populous black country in the world.

Both candidates are not fit, m not sorry to say

If wike is opportune to rule, he would tongue lash another world leader and cause a mini Ukraine crisis for us. This I have seen.

This Wike self... It is well.

Wike derived from wicked. A thief called himself " honest " all politician are thieves. Any leader who doesn't listen to his people's voice he/she can't be at the top seat (you will surely be a failure). Kuro n be.

After seeing how he handled ipob at Oyigbo, I agree with you.
Wike will kill Kanu and Shekau within a month.

Go wake up those innocent people you murdered in cold blood at obigbo to come and vote you in, just to please a Fulani man you started killing young boys and girls, as well as mother's just to prove you are taming the ipob group.

Since it's obvious that his Special advicers aren't advicing him enough, He better go obtain senatorial form, or else na him and EFCC go dey drag am for court when immunity is over.

Try Wike for a term. Wike is what Nigeria needs now. Nigeria has everything. What we lack is honesty.
