Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has declared support for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
This is despite not backing the former vice president during the party’s presidential primaries which held in his state.
Governor Wike backed the candidacy of Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal.
Sharing on Twitter, Wike revealed that he will stop at nothing to ensure that Atiku and the PDP emerge victorious in 2019 despite Atiku not being his initial candidate.
”In the buildup, I had a candidate and i supported my candidate openly, that doesn’t translate to not accepting the outcome which was sincerely in favour of Alhaji Atiku. We will stop at nothing in the support of HE @atiku to make sure the party comes out victorious in 2019.”
