Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says he has not reached an agreement with any politician to be his running mate in 2023.
Wike, in a statement yesterday, debunked the claims and urged people to disregard such reports, describing it as “social media talk.”
According to him, what is more important is the unity of the party and not the issue of zoning, adding that members of the party in the southern region will speak in one voice at the appropriate time.
Part of his statement reads,
Please discountenance anything you’re seeing about being VP to this and that. Discountenance all those social media talk.
The south will make a statement very soon and the day the south makes a statement, Nigeria will know that we are not joking.
It is not to come out and say you are consulting. You say you’re consulting, yet you have declared. Is it not after consultations that you declare?”, he asked.
Those things are not necessary. What is necessary is that the party should be cohesive and to make sure the party gets it right.
When you threaten that it must be north or threaten that it must be south, then you are not trying to make peace.
