Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has promised to support the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The governor, on Saturday, lost the party’s presidential ticket to the former Vice President, Atiku but before the primaries, he promised to support the winner.
Shortly after Atiku paid him a courtesy visit in his Abuja residence on Monday, Wike stressed that he had vowed to support anyone who emerged as flag bearer of the party.
In a tweet on his official Twitter handle, Wike said he would be in full support of Atiku’s bid to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
He wrote, “I made a vow to the Official Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Nigeria that i will support whoever emerges from the #PDPPresidentialPrimaries and I am not going to go back on my word.
“We cannot abandon the PDP, we will be fully supporting Atiku Abubakar”.
