The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has on Monday, reiterated that he will be supporting the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to secure victory in the 2023 Presidential election, despite failing to secure the ticket at the National Convention, in Abuja, on Saturday, .
Recall, that Governor Wike had vowed before the primary election, to support whoever emerged at the free and fair contest.
Shortly after Atiku paid him a courtesy visit in his Abuja residence, earlier today, Governor Wike repeated that he had vowed to support anyone who emerged as the Flagbearer of the main opposition party.
In a tweet on his official Twitter handle, he said: “I made a vow to the Official Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Nigeria, that I will support whoever emerges from the #PDPPresidentialPrimaries, and I am not going to go back on my word.
“We cannot abandon the PDP, we will be fully supporting Atiku Abubakar.”
