As aspirants jostle in the next election, Richard Victor has said the Minister of State for Education Nyesom Wike is no threat to him in the 2015 River State governorship poll.

Victor, a former governorship aspirant in the state disclosed that it was important for the people to vote in credible candidate, adding that Wike has no presidential backing to win the election.

According to him, it was the turn of the Ijaw tribe, South East Senatorial Zone of the state to present the next governor.

Victor who is an aspirant under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spoke during an interview yesterday in Abuja. He said: “Wike has no chance of coming down to stand in election. Forget about the intrigues. Let’s be realistic. He cannot match me.

“You cannot be a leader of a party and at the same time be the governorship aspirant. Being the senior man in the rank of position, we agreed you lead the party and since we have no governor as our party member.

“So he thought he can now use that position to spot himself as a governor, no. It’s not real and it will not happen.”





He disclosed that 75 percent of oil explorations claimed by the state was being extracted from Andoni local government, yet the council remained under-developed.

Victor promised to fight unemployment and prioritise education, housing, health and agriculture.

Wike is just a toutish young man who has lost virtually everybody's vote. He's not a threat to anybody.

The man for Rivers State

Wike was riding on GEJ and his wife's back to grab the governorship position in Rivers state. His plans has already failed on arrival. There will be a protest vote against the GEJ, wike and the PDP in Rivers state. GEJ and his wife have betrayed the Ijaws in Rivers state.
