Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has revealed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) told man lies during his recent interview.
This was stated on Friday morning by the Rivers state governor at the Port Harcourt International Airport.
Wike said: “Thereafter he (Atiku) appeared before Arise Television, see the statements he made. So many lies were told”.
Recall that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar had revealed why he did not choose the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
He said, “In arriving at the decision, I held wide consultations with various stakeholders in our party including our governors, the national working committee, board of trustees, and other leaders to seek their inputs and their wisdom.”
“In these consultations, I made clear that my running mate would have the potential to succeed me at a moment’s notice, that is, a president-in-waiting.
“In other words, the person must have the qualities to be President.
The person must have an appreciation of the deep rot which our country has been put into by the rudderless All Progressives Congress government; understands the great suffering that most of our people are going through and the urgency of relieving them of that suffering; understands the critical importance of economic growth and development to provide our young people with jobs, hope, and a pathway to wealth.”
Meanwhile, the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, had on June 29, 2022, during an interview on Arise TV, said Wike, and others who backed the Rivers governor for the PDP vice-presidential ticket slot deserved a detailed explanation from the party’s presidential candidate on his choice of running mate.
