Campaign posters with photos of Governor Nyesom Wike were spotted in several parts of Abuja today, Monday.
The posters indicating that the Rivers State Governor was running for Presidency in 2023 have drawn a lot of reaction from Nigerians online and offline.

However, the governor, through the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim, has dissociated himself from those circulating the posters, saying he is not aware of the posters.
The statement released on Monday by Nsirim said, “For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Wike has not informed anyone that he is interested in the Presidency of this country.
“This is certainly the handiwork of mischief makers who are threatened by the Governor’s rising political profile.
“We are amused that political detractors will stop at nothing to see how they can distract Governor Wike’s visionary leadership.
“For the umpteenth time, we wish to restate that Governor Wike is presently preoccupied with his mission to make Rivers State a better place and Destination of Choice.
“All the puerile antics of political jobbers aimed at heating up the polity will surely fail.
“Members of the public are therefore advised to discountenance the misinformation that is currently circulating in Abuja.”
