A movement within the People’s Democratic Party, the PDP Renaissance Movement has asked the Rivers State Governor Nyesome Wike to run for president in 2023.
The movement made the call in a communique made available in Calabar.
Gab Odu Oji, who read the communique said Nigeria is in dire need of a leader to drive prosperity to the people.
He said based on his antecedents and achievements Governor Wike has what it takes to salvage the country.
“The movement notes that Nigeria is in dire need of a leader to drive prosperity to the people.
“Wike is a nationalist who believes in the unity of Nigeria and this was demonstrated during the inferno at Sokoto.
“This is the worst time and we have had recessions, this is what zoning has done to this country and we are out to right these wrongs by bringing Governor Wike on.
“Wike is the savior we are looking for to salvage the country”, Oji said.

He said the movement is standing by the people at this time because nothing is enticing about the country.
