Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has denied authorising the circulation of 2023 presidential campaign posters bearing his name in major streets of Abuja.
The governor in a statement by State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim said he has not informed anyone that he is interested in the Presidency of this country.
The statement described the posters as “the handiwork of mischief makers 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 restate that he is presently preoccupied with his mission to make Rivers State a better place and destination of choice “ it read in part.
The statement also advised the public to disregard the circulating posters, stressing that all the puerile antics of political jobbers aimed at heating up the polity will surely fail.
