Observers say Wike’s lack of interest in being a minister if his party wins the presidential election might be linked to his feud with Atiku.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has fired another shot at his detractors, saying he is not interested in being a minister after his tenure as governor.
“Only one person can be a minister from a state, I will not be a minister. I will not. I am not a liability, Rivers State is an asset,” Wike said on Tuesday at the inauguration of the newly constructed lounge at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.
“So if you don’t want to win an election, it’s your business. I’m not the one running the election. He who wears the shoes knows where it pinches him.”

The governor has been making the news consistently in recent times over comments about his party and its candidate for the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.
Observers say Wike’s lack of interest in being a minister if his party wins the presidential election might be linked to his feud with Atiku.
Speaking further, Wike urged the supporters of any presidential candidate to come home and campaign for their candidate rather than staying in Abuja.
He said, “You want to support a candidate, you are not at home you’re in Abuja. Come home and campaign and work for the party. Stop this Abuja politics of carrying rumours to the candidate.”
