Rivers State governor and one of the presidential aspirants
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Nyesom Wike on Thursday, expressed his
commitment to embrace restructuring and advance the creation of state police if
elected 2023.
He expressed the commitment, while addressing delegates in
the state to the national convention of the party slated to hold later this
month at the Agodi Government House, Ibadan.
The PDP presidential hopeful while addressing the over 180
delegates, said he has much believe in restructuring, adding that the nation
might not survive without the creation of state police.
Governor Wike while canvassing for votes, said he is the
best man for the job, urging the delegates to support people with good
character and consistency in order to take Nigeria to a greater heights.
He said: “I am a firm believer in restructuring. I will
restructure the country if I become the president.”
“The only project the present administration in the country
could offer Nigerians is banditry. I have said it many times and I will say it
again, creation of state police will address insurgency in the country.”
Governor Wike pleaded with all the delegates to support his
presidential ambition so as to clinch the ticket of the party during the May 28
party’s convention in Abuja.
He, however, promised that he would not leave the party even
if he did not win the presidential ticket, maintaining that he would continue
to work for PDP.
While speaking, another presidential aspirant of PDP in
attendance, Ayodele Fayose stated that PDP in the south west would go to the
convention with one voice.
Fayose who was the former governor of Ekiti State is
optimistic that the delegates in the south west would go to the convention with
85% of their votes in one place.
He added that he and other like mind aspirants would meet
soon to present a common front ahead of the party’s national convention.
In a remark, Governor Seyi Makinde assured Wike of his support in making his
dream a reality.
