Ahead of the 2015 governorship election,
elders in Rivers State have issued a seven-day
ultimatum to the Peoples Democratic Party to
withdraw its governor candidate, Chief
Nyesom Wike, from the governorship race.
The elders also asked President Goodluck
Jonathan to prevail on Wike to step down as
the governorship candidate before or on
January 5, 2015, in his (Jonathan) own interest
and other persons’ interest.

Speaking on the platform of the Rivers
Leaders and Elders’ Council, they maintained
that it was necessary for the PDP and the
President to take such a step in order to avoid
losing the governorship election in the state.
Chairman of the council, Chief Albert Horsfall,
who issued this ultimatum in Port Harcourt
on Monday, warned that the people of the
state would vote for only the political party
that presented a riverine person as their
candidate should Wike fail to withdraw from
the governorship race.

Horsfall specifically told leaders and elders
from the various ethnic groups in the state to
vote for the ‘next bigger’ political party that
presented a riverine person as their flag
bearer.

The group had appealed to various political
parties in the state to field a riverine person
as their governorship candidate.

About 15 out of the 24 governorship aspirants
are believed to have entered an agreement
with the state PDP to support Wike’s
governorship aspiration.

Horsfall cautioned that the people of the state
would not be bought over with money or be
intimidated into succumbing to injustice and
slavery for the next 50 years as a result of the
failure of the state PDP to embrace zoning of
the governorship position in the state.

Is Wike not a Rivers man? I don't support Wike and wont vote for him but I think He has a right to contest for the election like any rivers man. Its time to stop playing tribal politics in Nigeria

**********************************************************

....... Confussed Elders .........

Well, though not from Rivers, but if you ask me, I'd say we should set aside such mundane sentiments as one's origin when it comes to selecting our leaders. What matters the most is character and I think Wike hasn't the character it takes to be a leader.

He's too thuggish and uncouth. I bet if PDP had presented a better candidate from thesame place as Wike, the resistance towards such a candidate wouldn't be as intense as that which Wike faces.

They've been bribed by APC

Lol.. Wen Eva I hear d name wike I feel like dropping a joke

A blind guy visited his choir mistress @ her house to share a testimony and found her bathing. Since he was blind, she let him in. After bathing, she shaved everyevery in front of him and she tried 2 make conversation by asking him : Brother Iyke , what brings you here? is everything fine @ home? He replied: Yes, Very fine. I came to tell u that I have done the eye operation, so i can see now!

Thr is notin wrong wit Wike....after all Tinubu performed in Lagos state N he is regarded as a tout

Jonathan is not in the country now, so the elders should wait for him to come back and seek permission from patience since she's the one controlling the president.

Wike till 2019!
