2023: I won’t allow Rivers fall into hands of armed robbers, Wike vows

Overcoming 2023 elections, Governor Nyesom Wike on Wednesday vowed to guide the electorate in Rivers state on who to vote for to ensure the next administration does not fall into the hands of ‘armed robbers’.

Wike, speaking at the inauguration of remodelled Waterlines House in Port Harcourt, passed off candidates of rival political parties as people without agenda in the race for the next Rivers governor, expressing confidence only in ruling PDP and its candidate as having the capacity and commitment to lead the state.

He told Rivers people, “We will tell you those to vote for because I will tell you who is who. There are those who just want to be governor, but have no agenda. In any case, why will you change a winning team that has given you all these. I will not allow this state to go astray to fall into the hands of armed robbers.”

On his governorship stewardship, the Governor promised to “Give accounts and that account I am going to give is that Rivers State, you gave me opportunity, see what I have done. I have defended Rivers State. I have challenged the country in so many things that were against the interest of this State. I will never sell this State for one Kobo.”

“Time will come when we will present a report card, local government by local government. I am sure in the next few months we will be in Kalabari to commission the Trans-Kalabari road which has never happened.”

“From Saakpenwa to Kono is about 31 kilometres. In the next few months, we will be there to commission that road that has opened the entire Ogoni area, that has opened Bori as a city.”

“Leadership is about people wellbeing and welfare and the feat governor Wike has achieved is great in the last seven years of his administration.

“No doubt, the good people of Rivers State are very happy with his development strides in all areas. One good thing about governor Wike’s projects is that they have direct bearing on the life of the people, from building of roads to flyovers, bridges, hospitals, markets, parks, water works, electricity and they are also equitably distributed across the State.”
