Gov. Nyesom Wike on Monday donated N200 million to
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Kaduna State for their upkeep.
Wike made the donation when he visited the state secretariat
of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna as part of his campaign tour to
seek for the party’s ticket for 2023 presidential poll.
“We must not be sentimental about winning 2023 election.
“We need people who are courageous and competent to win the
election come 2023 and this we will do when you give us the mandate,” he said.
Wike said that the first thing any serious government must
do upon assuming office was to address the issue of security challenges
bevelling the country.
“My major concern within my first six months in office is
how to restore our states, how to restore our country and if you can not do
that, there is no need to say you want to govern any state of head any
country,” Wike said.
He said intelligence gathering was key to ending insecurity.
“One of the major
problems we have as a nation is that we don’t spend much money on intelligent
gathering.
“Unfortunately, we spend more money on buying weapons than
on gathering intelligence,” he said.
Wike enjoined party members to eschew any form of biase by
uniting to support a single candidate, ahead of 2023 election.
Sen. Ahmad Makarfi, former Kaduna State governor lauded Wike
for his courage describing him as a party faithful who stood for the interest
of the masses.
Makarfi applauded Wike’s donation to the IDPs describing it
as heartwarming.
Mr Felix Hyet, the State PDP Chairman said the party was
poised to field candidates who were the people’s choice and would represent the
voices of the common man.
