Wike, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been at loggerheads with his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar over the chairmanship of Iyorchia Ayu. Atiku, who has been to most states for campaigns, has not visited Rivers since the beginning of electioneering for 2023 general elections.
Wike has refused to campaign for Atiku and it is not clear whether he will support Obi, Kwankwaso or Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
