Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Monday said
Nigerians should not vote for a sectional leader in the 2023 presidential
election.
Wike said Nigeria does not need a man who asked electorates
not to vote for a Yoruba or Igbo man.
He spoke while lashing out at the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over his recent comment.
Atiku said northerners needed to vote for him rather than a
Yoruba or Igbo candidate because he’s a Pan-Nigerian with a northern
extraction.
Recall that Atiku made the remark in October
during an interactive session with Arewa Joint Committee held in Kaduna State.
However, speaking at a road commissioning in Emohua area of
Rivers State, Wike also described the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu
Kwankwaso as a man of integrity.
According to Wike: “It is not enough to say don’t vote for
an Igbo man or Yoruba man, but what we need is to vote for you who will lead
Nigeria to development. Kwankwaso is a man of integrity.”
