The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike on Friday revealed why his Kano State counterpart, Abdullahi Ganduje said he would be a good loser in the 2023 presidential election.
According to the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Ganduje’s comment during his visit to Kano was just a mere joke.
Recall that Ganduje while receiving Wike at the Kano State Government House said he appreciates good losers because they have courage.
Wike while speaking with BBC Pidgin, stated that the media was biased in the report, adding that the statement of the Kano State Governor was a response to his comment that the All Progressives Congress-led government has failed.
He said, “We were just playing. When I carried the microphone, I told him that I was in his state to talk to delegates who would vote for me. I told the governor that I know that they will soon leave the government because the APC administration failed Nigerians.
“I told him that I will take over the government so that I can put things in order so when it was time for him to speak, he said he was sure that I will lose the election, saying I will be a good loser. It was a joke.
“I first spoke but the media only picked what he said and ignored why he said that.”
