Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has dissociated himself from the sudden appearance of campaign posters bearing his picture and name, which flooded some streets of Abuja, the nation’s capital, purportedly for 2023 presidential election.
Paulinus Nsirim, Commissioner for Information and Communications of the state said this in a press statement issued on Monday, January 25, describing it as the act of wickedness by enemies of the governor.
According to him, “The attention of Governor Nyesom Wike has been drawn to campaign posters bearing his name which flooded some major streets of Abuja today.
“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 who are 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.
“For the umpteenth time, we wish to restate that Governor Wike is presently preoccupied with his mission to make Rivers State a better place and Destination of Choice.
“All the puerile antics of political jobbers aimed at heating up the polity will surely fail.
“Members of the public are therefore advised to discountenance the misinformation that is currently circulating”.
