Wike said: “I am here to make myself available to you that I want to win the presidential election of this country in 2023. I have a chance of winning the presidential election for the PDP.
“Nigeria needs a fearless leader. Nigeria had never been divided like this as a country. No good news has come from the government of the APC. The only good news we have from APC is killings here, killings there every day.
