Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said he will not give his support to former President Goodluck Jonathan if he contests under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next 2023 election.

The governor had also said God used him to make the Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi, a governor of Rivers then.

He said this while speaking to BBC Pidgin at the weekend in Port Harcourt.

Governor Wike further stated that even Jonathan knew that he (Wike) would work against him if he joined the APC and clinched the party’s ticket to run for the Presidency in 2023.

He said “I am a PDP member, if former President Goodluck Jonathan picks a ticket to run in my party, I will support him. I can’t do anti-party. But if he picks a 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.”

Wike mocked Amaechi for calling him his employee saying that the Transport Minister would not have governed the state if God had not used him to make him a governor at that time.
