Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has criticized the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) agreement on a consensus presidential candidate.
Wike called the consensus agreement “junk” and “false news” that was exploited to deceive PDP members.
On Wednesday, the Presidential candidate told PDP delegates and members in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State, that consensus could only be achieved by equality, justice, and fairness.

He remembered telling a former Senate President that a consensus arraignment in the PDP would be unacceptable.
According to Wike: “I am not here for any consensus rubbish. I have told people not to deceive our party members with fake news about consensus. We all believe in consensus, but it must come with equity, justice, and fairness.
“When some of my colleagues led by the former Senate President came to me, I told them I would not fall into the consensus trap. If you want to run for election, please run, and if you are not ready, please go home.
“They want somebody who would come and bow down for them. But what the country needs now is fearless and courageous somebody.”
