However, Vanguard reported that a top PDP leader said Wike may work against Atiku if the issues were not properly handled.
He added that Wike will not leave the PDP but would act the role of a spoiler. He stressed that those Atiku did not favour in the choice of choosing his campaign council are those Wike will use against him.

He added that the Rivers state governor will be an opposition member within the opposition party.
“He is secretly supporting Peter Obi. It will be the same thing Rauf Aregbesola did to them in Osun State.
“Although Aregbesola did not decamp, he instructed his supporters to back Ademola Adeleke. It is the same card Wike may play during the campaigns,” the source said.

Going by the analysis of the potential of the presidential candidates ahead of the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, the Labour Party flagbearer, has been tipped to have an edge above other aspirants.

However, these chances of Obi have been undermined by the political warlords in the northern party of the country, including Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP, who have predicted that he will not win the north, the political bloc in the country.
