Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says the ongoing campaign for candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state does not include the party’s presidential candidate.
Wike said this on Tuesday in Bonny Town during the local government campaign flag-off rally that was organised by the Rivers state PDP campaign council.
He said the reason there’s no campaign for the party’s presidential candidate is that he was not asked to campaign.
“Go home and have it on your mind that the PDP in Rivers state, we have taken governorship, we have taken the senatorial, we have taken the house of representatives, and we have taken the house of assembly,” he said.
“That is the election we are doing here. These are the ones (candidates) who told me to come and campaign for them. No other person told me to campaign for him.
“I can’t force myself to campaign for you when you have not asked for it. These ones (candidates) have told me, so, I’ve come here to campaign.
“If somebody asks you to work for him, you’ll work for him. But if they don’t want you to work for them, will you force them?”
