The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, said his support for the emergence of Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos) as Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives was “based on capacity, not party lines.‎”

Wike stated this when the Gbajabiamila/Wase campaign team, made up of 110 lawmakers, paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

The visit was part of the ‎ongoing Gbajabiamila’s South East/South South campaign tour for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, ahead of the inauguration of 9th Assembly.

‎”I don’t support you based on party lines; I support you based on capacity.

“When you get there, we must work as a people; party is just a vehicle to convey you to your political destination.

“Party line is the major reason why Nigeria has not made any progress. It was the reason why our Electoral Act was not assented to,” Wike said.

He further urged Gbajabiamila to put Nigeria first when he emerges as the speaker of the 9th House on June 10.

Earlier, the House Leader had said he possessed the requisite leadership skills and legislative experience to successfully pilot the affairs of the 9th House.

Daily Trust recalls that the ongoing campaign tour of South East/South South zones started on Tuesday in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, through Enugu, Anambra and Imo States.

It continued on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers States, and is expected to cover the six states in the South South zone.

abdulmumin jibrin is the major brain behind it... He's very intelligent

This is the kind of support you enjoy when you decide to give regard and value to everyone regardless of the party they belong to. This shows there is much power in carrying people along In the actualization of your ambition.

The strategy is very simple. Make everyone feels they are king maker in their own capacity and see how you will enjoy massive support. Everyone likes to feel important.

Tinubu products are not dullard because Tinubu himself is an intelligent and strategic politician. Do you think some cabals from the north are just attacking Tinubu for nothing? They know he is very intelligent and strategic just like his products.

Kudos to wike for seeing beyond party affiliation. Indeed this is the way every Nigerian should act when choosing their leaders.

To my beloved SE brothers, SS has finally aligned with SW in actualizing one of his political ambitions, which is also a step to achieving 2023 SW political ambition. Instead of SE playing politics of bitterness, hatred, and vengeance, I will advice them to channel their energy into planning how power will go to SE come 2031.

Power sha...see those seats,all gold plated...No wonder them go wan die there

Will Gbaja win
