However, in a swift reaction on Wednesday, Wike distanced himself from posters in Abuja, which insinuated he is bidding for the Vice President position in the 2019 Presidential poll.
The Governor, urged Nigerians to disregard the posters which he described as the “handiwork of mischief makers.”
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, the Governor said the posters were from political mischief makers, who forgot in their haste that nobody runs for the office of Vice President.
