Who will get PDP presidential ticket?
The governor declared that the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not be given to any candidate whose interest is to serve only the wealthy few in Nigeria, Channels TV reports.
He disclosed that some desperate politicians were already scheming for a candidate who will not serve the interest of the many, but that of the wealthy few.
“No amount of gang-up can make PDP to give somebody who will want to run election for the interest of some big men, and not for all Nigerians. Anybody who wants to be candidate of PDP must be candidate for the interest of Nigerians.”
On who will succeed, Wike said everybody is entitled to aspire to be the next governor. He however noted that such person must show capacity for that office and be well disposed to protect the interest of Rivers state.

Wike was conferred with the title of Se Ibidokibo 1 of Kalabari. The governor shared photos from the ceremony on his Facebook page.
