Less than 48 hours before the election, Governor Wike finally speaks out

The announcement of the presidential election on Saturday has been made public by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike. He confirmed that, in contrast to rumors swirling about, he will not sell the votes of Rivers state to any contender during the election.

On Thursday, February 23, Wike made his remarks while officially opening the Azikiwe/Iloabuchi Road and other recently built facilities in the state. The PDP leader stated that he is aware of Rivers state’s interests, and as a result, he cannot intentionally deceive the populace about the political choice he has made regarding the presidential candidate to support in the February 25th presidential election.

He claimed that because of his debt to the state of Rivers, he will never sell it.

He said “I owed them (the Rivers people) a lot in my life for what Rivers State has given me, and I will continue to defend their interests. I’m not going to trade someone a pot of porridge for Rivers State. Hence, if I tell you that this is the appropriate area, believe me when I say that it is. I won’t try to trick you. I don’t belong to the group of leaders that always pursue their own interests.

Although Wike’s chosen candidate is still unofficially unknown to the general public, there are signs that he has advised the residents of Rivers on who to support in the election.
