Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers, has advised the populace to hold off on casting a ballot in 2023 until he makes a choice.

However, Wike advised them to cast a large number of votes for PDP candidates for other offices including the governor, National Assembly, and House of Assembly.

The Governor said they were still debating who they would support in the 2023 presidential election on Tuesday while launching the Rukpoku-Izo-Ogbodo-Igwuruta link road built by his government.

“We have begun work on Eneka internal roads phases one and two, from Eneka to Igbo Etche. We are also working on the SAARs Road that leads directly to Rikpogbodu. Recall that I was the one who did it from Eledo down to Rikpogbodu and Obirikwere Road. I’ve already travelled the Rumuakwu to Eneka and Rumuakwu to Igwuruta links.

Therefore, you are now owing us money. You first helped us, therefore we helped you in return. We’ve returned to urge you to help us out once more. If you help us, we’ll return the favour by helping you.

“You’ll vote for our governor, our senatorial candidates, our representatives in the house, and our representatives in the assembly.
Then I’ll come to the other one and tell you where to cast your ballot.
Do not worry; these candidates I have named now request that you visit and cast your vote for them. We’ll get together at our homes soon to decide where we’re going. We continue to converse.

The Governor emphasized after his address that he was solely worried about the Rivers PDP and its candidates, declaring that “it is carried go” for the candidates from the State.

It will lead you to declare that this is the state-level party that we support as well as the government. Pay attention to what I said when I stated that. This party is doing well at the state level, so you must stick with us.
I’m speaking on a major TV network. I want to be heard by everyone, everywhere. They won’t help me in any way and are unable to even attempt.

These other folks realize they can’t win Rivers State, he continued.
They are only generating noise to go collect money from individuals so that, in the end, they can claim that the system was rigged.

Who are you following, and who are they? Which municipal government will you take over, and who are the people who will help you win there? People are influenced by some thought leaders. You must cast your ballot for a party that has benefited from democracy.

“The well-being of the populace is everything in government. Some claim that despite serving as governor for eight years, they achieved nothing. As a result, we have contributed.
