2023 Presidency: Gov Wike campaign posters flood in Abuja

Ahead of the 2023 Presidential election, the campaign posters of the Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike, have flooded in the streets of Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The posters bearing the name and pictures of the Governor Wike, have surfaced in some locations in the Federal Capital Territory.

The inscriptions on the posters titled “Rescue Nigeria 2023,” they were produced by the National President of Rescue Nigeria Movement, Jingiri Bala Mato.

The posters which bear the logo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) read, “Rescue Nigeria from insecurity, poverty, bandit killing.

“Support Chief Barr Nyesom Wike for President, Federal Republic of Nigeria 2023.”

One of the posters bears the picture of the governor in the traditional South-South wear with a bowler hat to match, while he was dressed in a Northern outfit with a cap to match in the second poster.

Newsflash noticed that the governor’s first name, Nyesom, was wrongly spelt as “Nyemsom” in the two different posters.

Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, is serving his second and final term of four years as the governor of the South-South state.

Newsflash sighted the posters that are in two different types in Abuja on Monday morning.

They were posted in strategic locations on the popular Herbert Macaulay Way in the Central Business District of the FCT.

Some were seen pasted on the fence of a building that served as the Buhari/Osinbajo Presidential Campaign Office in 2015 and 2019.

Some others were seen posted close to the headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and also opposite the Nigeria Defence College popularly called War College.

There has been speculation that Wike may be considering a joint presidential ticket with his Sokoto State counterpart, Aminu Tambuwal, for the 2023 election.

Tambuwal, who is also serving his second and final term as the governor of the Northern state on the platform of the PDP was one of those invited by Wike to inaugurate some projects in his state recently.

He contested for the PDP’s presidential ticket for the 2019 general election and lost to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Tambuwal enjoyed Wike’s support for that primary election held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.

Wike had also last week pledged a donation of N500m to victims of the market fire in Sokoto State.

The pledge attracted criticism to the governor from opposition political parties and others.
