The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, declared on Wednesday speculation would not influence the G-5 choice of presidential candidate in the February 25 election.
The governor, who spoke at the foundation laying ceremony for the Akpabu-Egbeda-Elele/Omoku road project in the Emohua local government area of Rivers State, urged the people of the state to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in all the elective positions at federal and state levels except the presidency.
Wike and four other governors – Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), and Samuel Ortom (Benue) – are demanding the resignation of the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, as a precondition for the support of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
