The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has insisted that he will not step down from the 2023 presidential race.

Wike, who is a presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, said this during an interview with BBC Pigin.

Some chieftains of the PDP had demanded that the presidential candidate of the party should be picked through consensus.

But Wike said only death would make him step down for another PDP candidate in the 2023 presidential election.

When asked if he would step down for another candidate, Wike said, “Why will 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.
