David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi state, has asked
President-elect Bola Tinubu to include Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, in his
administration.
Umahi said Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), has a lot to offer to Tinubu who contested the presidential election on
the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform.
The Ebonyi governor spoke on Monday at an event hosted by
Wike in Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers.
Umahi said there is no way the story of the 2023 general
election can be told without mentioning Wike.
“I thank God Almighty
who had enacted that Asiwaju(Tinubu) and (Kashim) Shettima will win,” the
senator-elect said.
“Look at the process of God, Tinubu was courageous and
Shettima. God, directly and indirectly, made Governor Wike very much available,
and there is no way you can conclude about the success of the election without
mentioning Governor Wike.
“We will be asking Asiwaju and Shettima to please bring
Governor Wike to the core administration of the federal government. He has a
lot to offer.
“He has a lot to offer for the unity of the country. It is
not all about party now, it is about the unity of the country, it is how to
move this country forward and reunite our people.”
Umahi said any politician who hopes to win in Rivers state
without Wike is joking.
“Our people want performance, if you have performed as a
governor, the people will stand with you,” he said.
Tinubu polled 231,591 votes in Rivers state to defeat Atiku
Abubakar, PDP standard bearer, and Peter Obi, flag bearer of the Labour Party
(LP), in the presidential election.
While Obi polled 175,071 votes, Atiku scored 88,468.
