Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said he won’t support former President Goodluck Jonathan if he contests for President 8n 2023
Wike, who had served as Minister of State for Education under the Jonathan Administration, said there was no way he could work against the interest of his party, PDP.
Jonathan is a member of the PDP but speculations have been growing about the possibility of his defection to APC to contest the next presidential election.
The governor, who spoke on the Pidgin Service of BBC, also said he was instrumental to the emergence of Chief Rotimi Amaechi as governor of the State in 2007.
Wike said: “I am a PDP member. If former President Goodluck Jonathan picks the ticket to run in my party, I will support him. I can’t do anti-party.
“But if he picks the ticket to run in APC, I won’t support him because I can’t do anti-party.
“He knows I won’t support him in APC even if he is from the south.
“I don’t do that kind of politics. It is party we are talking about, and I don’t play ethnicity.”
