Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has made a decison not to step down his ambition of contesting for the presidency of the country.
Wike said only death can stop him from contesting the 2023 presidency.
“The only thing that will make me to quit is death; if I’m alive, we will finish it on 28/29 of May (date for PDP presidential primaries).”
The Rivers Governor made this statement in an interview on BBC pidgin on Friday in Port Harcourt.
Wike, who spoke in pidgin English, said “I have been a local government chairman which is the grassroot, I have been a minister and now a Governor. How many of the aspirants have such experience?”
He explained that former vice President Atiku Abubakar has only been a vice president, not a minister or even Governor.
“If they put me and other aspirants side by side, the delegates will choose me, because I have been the one going from State to State telling them to vote for me.
“Why would I step down for anybody? If you want to do consensus, you will do it with equity and fairness.
“If the consensus you want to do is to gang up against one or two people, why will I join in that type of consensus. The people talking about consensus, are their hands clean? Their hands are not clean,” he added.
