Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has denied knowledge of the source of the 2023 presidential campaign posters bearing his name and picture that flooded the streets of Abuja on Monday January 25, 2021.
The governor, through his commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim, described the posters as the handiwork of mischief makers threatened by governor’s rising political profile.
Nsirim in the statement said; “The attention of Governor Nyesom Wike has been drawn to campaign posters bearing his name which flooded some major streets of Abuja today.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Wike has not informed anyone that he is interested in the Presidency of this country.
This is certainly the handiwork of mischief makers who are threatened by the governor’s rising political profile”.
He said that the state government was amused that political detractors would stop at nothing to see how they can distract Governor Wike’s visionary leadership.
“For the umpteenth time, we wish to restate that Governor Wike is presently preoccupied with his mission to make Rivers State a better place and destination of choice.
“All the puerile antics of political jobbers aimed at heating up the polity will surely fail”, he said.
The commissioner advised members of the public to discountenance the misinformation that is currently circulating in Abuja.
