The Nyesom Wike-led Rivers State Government has denied saying that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu offered him a senatorial ticket.
Wike in a statement on Saturday through his Special Assistant, Media, Kelvin Ebiri, clarified that there was no time during his media chat on Friday he made such a statement.
Ebiri berated some national dailies and online newspapers for allegedly fabricating such reports in an interview that was aired live on four television stations.
He said: “We wish to state emphatically that this news is false, baseless, and ludicrous as the Rivers State governor throughout the media chat never mentioned the name of the APC presidential candidate or alluded to him offering him a senatorial ticket.
“To lay the facts bare, we have decided to include herein the transcript of what governor Wike said concerning senatorial form.
