2023 presidential race: I am more than qualified to be Nigeria’s president –Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has boasted that he is the most qualified person to rule Nigeria in 2023.

The governor, who spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, said no Nigerian possess his credentials and leadership experience.

According to Wike, being a Minister as well as the governor of the oil-rich state give him the needed experience to govern the country.

He said, “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?

“It is not good for anybody to say ‘my aspirant is the best of the aspirants. I don’t think so. All I preach is that people should talk on issues. Nigeria has a problem. If they have given you the opportunity, what are you going to do to make sure that Nigerians benefit?”
