Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has declared that he has the capacity and energy to serve and save Nigeria as president in 2023.
Governor Wike made the announcement in Gombe State, where he met with PDP leaders and supporters as part of ongoing consultations ahead of the party’s presidential primary poll.
The governor told stakeholders at the PDP secretariat in Gombe, the state capital, that they should not waste their votes as delegates at the party’s presidential convention on candidates who are unlikely to win the general election in 2023.
“If you want PDP to win the election in 2023 I have made myself available. Give me the ticket, let me go and take the power for you. We are talking about who can take this power from APC (All Progressives Congress). That person is me.”
Governor Wike stated that everyone is welcome to come to Rivers State to observe what his administration has accomplished out of love and passion for the people’s socioeconomic well-being.
The governor declared that Nigeria needed to be saved from extinction, and that doing so would require men of courage who cared about the country.
“We need to salvage this country. Let us not pretend about it. Insecurity does not know religion. Insecurity does not know ethnicity. Poverty does not know ethnicity. Poverty does not know religion.
“The people who come to kill us, do they look at who is a Christian? Do they look at who is a Moslem? Do they know who is Hausa-Fulani? Do they know who is Igbo? We are dying.
“So, it is not for the sentiment. It is not for people to come and tell you, look, it must come from here, no, no. It is for those who have the capacity. If given the opportunity, I will replicate what I’ve done in Rivers State as President of Nigeria.”
Governor Wike also chastised the APC-led Federal Government for the numerous lies it told Nigeria about boosting the country’s agricultural fortunes.
Governor Wike stated that the new PDP government will not lie to Nigerians or make excuses for failure, but rather will seek to better the lives of Nigerians across the country.
“They said they have given over N300b for agriculture. I have no problem with that. Even if they have spent N1trillion, where is the food?
I don’t want people to go out and buy rice only to construct a pyramid. I want to ensure that agriculture is successful.”
Governor Wike stated that APC leaders have admitted that their government has failed, paving the way for the PDP to retake power and return Nigeria to the people.
The governor expressed concern about some public officials’ intent on hiring mercenaries to battle robbers and terrorists who have overtaken the country.
“And you have a president staying there, the security chiefs are there, and somebody is saying you must bring in mercenaries. You have seen that the government has collapsed.
“I’m not the one who said so. Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai said the government has collapsed. Not me, not you, but APC has admitted that their government has collapsed. The Minister of Transportation said the government did not give him money that was why the bombing of the train happened.”
Dr Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, the former governor of Gombe State, praised Governor Wike for visiting the state to formally inform PDP stakeholders about his presidential ambitions.
Governor Wike’s great performance in office was recognized by Dankwambo, who promised him Gombe state’s support if he won the presidential ticket.
God is the source of power. God bestows strength to those he chooses. He seizes authority from anyone he pleases. We will assist the PDP in assuming power. However, whoever emerges as the candidate would meet with the Gombe people and discuss at the appropriate time. We’ll talk about it. This time, we will not be taken for granted. Under our mutually agreed-upon deal, we will work for you and for whoever emerges as the party’s candidate.
Governor Wike is a man of integrity, an excellent leader, a bridge-builder, a unifier of men, and whose interest in politics is for the public good, according to PDP Gombe State Chairman General Abner Kwaskwabe (rtd).
“This is a man that has touched the lives of Nigerians across the six geo-political zones. This is the man when one of the Northern States had a fire in their market, nobody came to their rescue except, His Excellency, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.”
