2023 Presidency: Only death can make me step down – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said that only death will make him step down from the 2023 presidential race.

He stated this during an interview with BBC Pidgin.

When asked if he would step down for another candidate, Wike said, “Why would I step down for anybody? If you want to do consensus, there must be equity and fairness. Are the hands of those demanding consensus clean? People talking about consensus are the ones running the election. Is it the party’s decision?

“It is not the party that is talking. In politics, there is something called shine shine bobo. The more you look, the less you see. Some people think they can deceive me with consensus. It’s a scam. I don’t like being deceived in my life.

What can make me step down for another PDP candidate, he replied, “The only thing that can make me step down is death. if I am alive, we will run this thing, we will hold the primary on May 28/29.”
