2023: Wike Reveals The Only Thing That Can Make Him Step Down From Presidential Race

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.

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

“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.
