PDP crisis: Rivers won’t work for you, Wike tells Atiku

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has insisted that he will only fight for the governorship, National Assembly and House of Assembly candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023.

Wike spoke in a state banquet organised on Friday night in honour of the G5 Governors, who came to provide solidarity for the Rivers 2023 campaign flag-off scheduled for Saturday.

The Banquet was attended by the G5 Governors comprising Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu); Seyi Makinde (Oyo); Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Samuel Ortom (Benue) as well as other PDP chieftains.

The Governor insisted that Rivers would no longer work for anybody, who refuses to embrace justice, fairness and equity.

Wike said he was only committed to working for PDP, Rivers State chapter adding that all his candidates in the state would win their elections.

The Governor said after praising Buhari for releasing the money owed some Niger Delta States of Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta and Bayelsa, some persons sent him messages that he should not have commended the President.

He asked the States that received the money to account for just as he took a swipe on a Delta Senatorial Candidate and Businessman, Ned Nwoko, for asking him to account for what he did with the money.

He reeled out projects he executed with the money and called on Nwoko to ask his principal in Delta to also account for his own.

He said: “I am in support of PDP in Rivers State until you meet us. The governorship, the Senatorial, House of Representatives and Assembly I will fully fight for them to win elections.

“Here, I will not support anybody who doesn’t like Rivers State. I will not support anybody who doesn’t want equity, fairness and justice. If you want Rivers State to support you, come and say you believe in equity and justice. Nation
