Ex-Niger Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has mocked Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike’s declaration to run for presidency come 2023.
The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force (NDPSF) said Wike’s desire to be president is not realistic because he does not look like a president.
While featuring on Arise TV’s live broadcast on Wednesday, Dokubo in his reaction to questions on Wike’s visit to former Heads of State, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar said:
“It’s laughable that Wike wants to be President. Look at him, does he look like a president? Will Nigerians want a president like that?
“He himself should know that it’s not possible, yes everybody is entitled to contest; it’s our PVCs and we are going to examine the person.
“Somebody who carried cutlass and was dancing will want to be President?
Wike recently declared his interest to contest for the presidency during a recent visit to his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom.
He also boasted that he is the best man to take power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
