According to a previous Anaedoonline.ng story, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike’s hesitation to declare his candidacy prior to the 2023 general elections had stoked tension in the state’s political environment.
The 2023 presidential candidate to support is still unknown to Governor Wike’s supporters and PDP members in Rivers State.
Governor Wike’s supporters are unsure whether to support Atiku, the PDP’s presidential candidate, or any other presidential candidate because the governor has not yet declared his position.

Following Governor Wike’s request that Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s national chairman, quit, Rivers State has received media attention in recent months.
In order to ensure justice and fairness in the PDP before the 2023 election, Wike requested that a southerner take the helm.
Governor Wike has guaranteed PDP supporters that he won’t leave the party, but recent comments he made have raised questions about that assurance.
Recall that Governor Wike declared that those who disrespected the state did not deserve the support of the Rivers people during the inauguration of the Rivers PDP campaign council.
