Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of Rivers State has warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its 2023 presidential election candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to beware of ‘job seekers’ swarming around the candidate to enable him win the election.
Wike rebuked such ‘job seekers’ for making inconsequential confession of support for Atiku Abubakar instead of working to mobilise grassroot voters to secure electoral victory for the PDP.
He was speaking on Tuesday at the inauguration of the new Government VIP Lounge at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa in Ikwerre Local Government Area, built by the Rivers State Government.
Governor Wike said it is the quantum of individual votes from Units, Local Government Areas and States that would determined victory for Atiku Abubukar, the presidential candidate of the PDP in 2023 and not rumour peddlers.
“You want to support the candidate, you’re not at home, you’re in Abuja. Come home and campaign and work for the party. Stop this Abuja politics of carrying rumours to the candidate,” he advised the rumour-mongering politicians.
Governor Wike, who asserted that he is a practical and practicing politician, admonished that any party that wants to win election cannot be fighting itself.
“I think a party that wants to win election cannot on their own be causing problem for themselves,” he stressed.
