The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has called on Nigerians to disregard Vice Presidential posters being circulated in parts of Abuja by a faceless group, describing it as the handwork of mischief makers.

The statement noted: “The attention of the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has been drawn to the posting and circulation of fake vice presidential posters by political mischief makers.

“The Rivers State governor has the mandate of the good people of Rivers State, and he is focused on delivering quality projects and programmes for the people.
“Governor Wike will not be distracted by the antics   of misguided politicians, who want to mislead Nigerians”.
