a group, the Northern Progressives Elements and Friends of Wike, have purchased the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
The group led by Senator Sulieman Nazif said they decided to purchase the forms for the governor because of their belief in the Wike’s love for the country.
Naija News reports that this was made known in a statement issued by the Rivers governor media aide, Kelvin Ebiri, on Tuesday.
Speaking at the presentation in Abuja, Wike stated that he has the capacity to address Nigeria’s insecurity and economic problems.
While revealing that he is prepared for the assignment, the governor said Nigerians can no longer resign to fate and suffer the pains of harsh economy and wanton killings.
He described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party that lacks ideas on how to govern.
The governor stated that APC has failed in addressing economy concerns of Nigerians.
Wike said: “They have tried it with me. They know that they can never succeed. They did it in Rivers State, we said ‘no, it will never work.’ And it didn’t work. If you give us the ticket, go home and sleep.”
Speaking at the event, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State thanked the Northern group for purchasing the form for Wike.
He stated that Nigeria needs an energetic leader and not tired individuals to govern its affairs.
