The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has inaugurated its governorship campaign council for the 2023 General Elections.
The party appointed Gov Nyesom Wike as the Chairman of the council in Port Harcourt on Monday.
Ihis remarks, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State alleged that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, does not want him to campaign for his election.
Gov. Wike accused Atiku of appointing some members of the PDP in Rivers State into his campaign council without the “governor’s contribution”.
He said it means Atiku doesn’t want him and Rivers people to campaign for him.
He said “the presidential candidate entered Rivers State and picked those he wants to pick without the contribution of the governor.
“So they said they don’t need me to campaign for them, that they don’t want Rivers people to campaign for them, will you force yourself?
“I have never seen how people will disrespect a state like Rivers State and go and choose those who are enemies of the state.
“So they don’t want us to campaign, let’s campaign for those who want us to campaign for them.”
