Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has urged Rivers individuals to vote in favor of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Saturday’s governorship and state House of Assembly races and make sure they guard their votes.
This is as the pioneers of Rivers South-East senatorial locale re-attested their endorsement of Wike for a second term.
This was said at the Town Hall Meeting between Governor Wike and pioneers of Rivers East senatorial locale in Bori, yesterday.
Wike stated: “Just be vigilant and protect your votes. We have no security with us, but we have the Chief Security Officer of the world on our side.
“If they like they should bring Police, Army and thugs from all over the world, we are quite confident that we shall smile on March 9, 2019. Come out and vote for people you can vouch for.”
Wike said it was unfortunate that the Minister of Transportation would imagine that he could impose a politician without pedigree on Rivers State, just because he is desperate.
“Rivers State is not like any other state. We will not allow a godfather to operate here. Our only Godfather is God.”
He encouraged Rivers individuals to embrace a serene aura all through the governorship and state Assembly decisions, including “You are not participating in the elections. Why are you killing our people. You should allow the will of God to prevail. Talk to our children to avoid being used for violence.
“Reject violence as being propagated by the All Progressive Congress, APC. Those who want to shed blood in Rivers State will never succeed. I don’t know why they are plotting to destroy the state.
We did not cause the problems in the APC. “APC fought themselves and pushed themselves out of the race. Now they want to kill everyone in the state. What is the offence of Rivers people, that we must all die because the APC excluded themselves from the ballot?
“Where are the children of the APC leaders preaching violence in Rivers State,” he said.
