Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, from the South-South geo-political zone of Nigeria has joined the 2023 presidential race.

Wike declared his intention to contest the presidency in the 2023 general elections on Sunday when he visited Benue state to consult stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state over his ambition to run for the presidency.

The Rivers governor, who expressed confidence that PDP would win the presidency in the next election, said his decision to contest is to take back power from the APC.

“If you’re running in an election, power isn’t given for free; it is taken. I have come out and I’m going to take this power from APC back to PDP by the grace of God,” he said.

“God has given us what it takes. That’s why God is making APC to make mistakes everyday and that is how you know that God is with you.”

Wike, who said he has what it takes to win the election, said he had stood with the PDP when many members “ran away”.

“Those who want to be president now were the problems of the party in 2015. They ran away when the party needed them most,” he said.

“But I have stood and worked for this party. I have nowhere to run to because I take it personally that the party should not die. And I challenge anyone to a debate on what they did for PDP.”

Also present at the event was Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue.
