Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has argued that he is more qualified than any other candidate warming up for the 2023 presidential election.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Tuesday, the Governor stated that his achievements has put him on a pedestal to contest for the highest position. He did not, however, disclose whether he would run for the position or not.
The Governor said with his track record both as governor and minister, he will become the favorite if he indicates interest to run.
“For somebody of my kind and record, a governor and a minister, I don’t even see anybody who will tell me that he is much more qualified than me, I don’t think that is possible.
“Assuming today I want to run for the office of the President, what quality do you think I do not have? Why do you think I cannot provide the right leadership for Nigeria to move forward?” Wike queried.
He advised his fellow politicians to address the current political issues and other challenges facing the country and not to begin a campaign when it’s not time yet, urging politicians to always sell their candidacy based on achievements.
