Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says he is fully
prepared for the assignment of being the President of Nigeria, saying he has
the capacity to address lingering issues of insecurity and poor national
economy.
Wike maintained that Nigerians can no longer resign to fate,
suffer the pains of harsh economy and wanton killings under the watch of the
All Progressives Congress -led Federal Government.
He made those remarks when a group, the Northern
Progressives Elements and Friends of Wike, in Abuja, presented the purchased
Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to him on Tuesday to contest the
2023 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
This was contained in a statement issued by his media aide,
Kelvin Ebiri, and made available to journalists.
The governor said it was time to save the country from the
lies of the APC-led Federal Government that is completely bereft of governance.
Wike emphasised that Nigerians and the PDP do not need
persons that will chicken out when intimidated by the APC in the build up to
the 2023 general election.
“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,” he stated.
Wike pointed to how the APC has failed in addressing economy
concerns of Nigerians. According to him, the Central Bank of Nigeria boasts of
how much it is spending to boost agriculture without visible impact and
availability of food.
Senator Sulieman Nazif, who presented the forms to Wike on
behalf of the Northern Progressives Elements, explained that they decided to
pool their resources together to purchase the forms because of their belief in
the governor’s love for the country.
The governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, thanked all who
contributed their resources to purchase the forms for the Rivers State
governor.
He maintained that Nigeria at this point needs a leader that
is energetic and not people that are tired and lack the direct to salvage the
country.
On his part, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose,
commended the group and friends of Wike for their kind gesture and declared
that, “Nigeria is at the verge of return to new Nigeria.”
