He stressed that Jonathan has not communicated any such intention to him.
Wike clarified his relationship with the former President, saying: “You’re the one telling me here. Jonathan has never told me; he has never called me one day that, ‘look, I’m being pressured to run, what’s your thinking?’ If he calls me and asks me, I will be able to tell him my mind and what I feel,” Wike “stated.”
