I’ll continue to be a problem for you – Wike to Atiku, Peter Obi, PDP governors
Former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to remain a thorn in the side of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, and several PDP governors. Wike made this declaration during an address to his followers in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, over the weekend.
Wike emphasized that he has no regrets about his decision to support Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the last general election. He stated that his support for Tinubu was instrumental in preventing Atiku Abubakar from winning the presidency, adding that his actions were a stand against what he described as “injustice.”

“We have no regret at all for supporting President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. I’ve no regret about it. All these things you’re seeing involve Atiku’s group, Peter Obi’s group, and a few governors from the PDP who believe I’m a problem for them, and I will continue to be a problem for them,” Wike said.
Wike further asserted that his stance was driven by a desire for fairness and equity within the PDP and that the party’s refusal to address these issues led to its defeat. “Atiku’s group said that I and my team stopped them from becoming president. We stopped injustice. What we stopped was injustice. What we wanted was equity and fairness. And we told PDP, if you don’t allow this, you’ll pay,” he added.
