Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says mischief makers are responsible for posting the campaign posters indicating his interest in 2023 presidency, in some areas of Abuja.
A statement by the State’s Commissioner for Information, Paulinus Nsirim, dissociated Wike from the campaign posters.
The Legend reports that campaign posters of Wike with the inscription, ”Rescue Nigeria 2023 from Insecurity, poverty, bandits and killing, were seen on Herbert Macaulay Road, FCT Abuja.
However, Nsirim maintained that Wike is presently preoccupied with his mission to make Rivers State a better place and destination of choice.

He said “For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Wike has not informed anyone that he is interested in the Presidency of this country.
“This is certainly the handiwork of mischief makers threatened by the Governor’s rising political profile. We are amused that political detractors will stop at nothing to see how they can distract Governor Wike’s visionary leadership.
Nsirim while advising Nigerians to discountenance the misinformation added that the antics of political jobbers aimed at heating up the polity will surely fail.
