The posters of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State have been removed from the campaign buses hours after the Presidential primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Naija News had reported that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar emerged as the PDP presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections on Saturday.
Atiku polled 371 votes to defeat Wike, who scored 237 votes to emerge runner up in Saturday’s primary election held at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
However, in a video viral, posters of the Rivers governor branded on the buses were seen being removed hours after he lost the election.

Meanwhile, the apex Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has described the PDP presidential primaries that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its 2023 presidential candidate as corrupt and erratic.
Reacting, however, to Atiku’s victory, Ohanaeze in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday morning through its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the PDP presidential candidate will never become Nigeria’s president.
Ohanaeze rejected Atiku’s candidacy, alleging that his emergence as PDP’s candidate was a plot by unpatriotic Northerners against the Southern part of the country.
Isiguzoro stressed in the statement that the Igbo would rise up against Atiku, adding that his presidential campaign would be rejected in the South-East.
According to him, the nation’s main opposition party had been reduced to a Northern party.
