Governor Neysom Wike of Rivers state has played down the possibility of Bola Tinubu emerging as president of Nigeria in 2023.

The governor told journalists on Thursday, February 4, that the presidency will be way out of the reach of the national leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the next general elections.

According to The Guardian, Wike advised the politician to forget about pursuing the presidency and channel his energy to other profitable ventures.

He made the statement in Yola, Adamawa state, while on an inspection tour of projects being executed by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.
