Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has stated that his decision to run for President is not based on the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Vice Presidential ticket.

Wike made the announcement while speaking to PDP delegates and leaders in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State, on Wednesday.

PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar said he was in the state to meet with party members and demonstrate his commitment to become Nigeria’s next president.

Wike also refuted accusations that he had surreptitiously picked Senatorial forms like other party hopefuls.

He said: “I am here to introduce myself to you. We have started the process and I have made myself available to people of Cross River. I am running for the President and I am not running for running sake. I will win the party ticket and win the Presidency of this country.

“I am not running to negotiate for Vice President or for anything. I have not collected senate form or any form in case I fail. Some people have sent in their cronies to collect senate forms on their behalf in case there is a consensus.

“I came here for you to see me face to face. Some are sending people to talk to them. I have too much energy and I am ready to go to every nook and cranny of this country. Trust people with energy and I have it.”
