A Rivers State PDP Governorship Aspirant, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that he has never participated in any meeting where zoning of the governorship position was agreed upon, saying that he is in the governorship race owing to collective will of the Rivers people.

Wike spoke in Port Harcourt during an interactive session with correspondents of national newspapers in Rivers State.

He challenged anyone with the records of such an agreement to make it public.


He noted that all the claims by some politicians on this issue were their personal opinions.

The former Minister of State for Education stated that the spread of his associates and supporters cut across the 23 local government areas of the state, stressing that he would win both the PDP governorship primary and general election all over the state.

He said contrary to insinuations in certain quarters, he would not spend his time probing the outgoing administration when elected, as Rivers State was in dire need of development on the fast lane after years of non performance.

Asked whether he would commence negotiations with 16 aggrieved governorship aspirants of the PDP, Barrister Wike said the aspirants posed no threat to the victory of PDP, hence there was no need to negotiate with them.


He said: “The beauty of democracy is that people are talking. I discuss when there is threat for the PDP. Why should I discuss when the governor bought form for most of them?”

Commenting on recent developments in the APC, Barrister Wike stated that the actions of outgoing governor Amaechi had vindicated him, as he had proved that he was not trustworthy by deceiving the Ogoni people after years of promises that he would cede the governorship position to them.

He said that Governor Amaechi made the choice of Dakuku Peterside because he was desperate to have an aspirant, who would protect him over his massive financial maladministration, alleged corruption and administrative recklessness.

Wike, however, added that Amaechi’s choice had enhanced his chances as he would meet very little opposition across the state in view of his antecedents, performance in previous offices held and insistence on the welfare of all the people of Rivers State.


On some political leaders who threatened anarchy if he emerged as the governor, Wike advised Rivers people to disregard their threats as it would amount to nothing.

He added that no peaceful leader would use the word anarchy as every society needed peace to develop.

The frontline PDP governorship aspirant noted that in a democracy the people should be allowed to decide their choice.


He said from his consultations, he knew that the people would vote him enmasse as they prefered development to the present situation of stagnation.

Only touts in the state will canvass support and vote for Wike

This Amechi of a guy just pisses me off.

Dimkpa is talking, this election is over just prepare for your swearing in.

VICTORCIZA:
only idiotsss will think that Nwaike will not win river state governorship election with landslide victory!


As for Amaechi i won't come so low to reply him. He is officially mad

I prefer amaechi to this wike.

Students were home for months during wike's tenure as sup. Minister

Students/pupils in rivers state have one of the best learning environment/facilities in the country, built under amaechi's administration

*belema make we go chop bole for ykc abeg*

Even the fishes in Rivers will vote for PDP come 2015, APC is a loser there. Ngene Ukuenu is a transgender

Why can't PDP just campaign without mentioning Amaechi's name.
He is afraid that they may dump him at the end of the day that's why he keeps linking all his opponents to Amaechi so that mama peace the Shepopo will give the ticket to him.

History will be made in Rivers State in 2015, for the first time a party other than the one at the centre will win the state.

Nyesom Wike is the main man. The man Ameachi is seriously afraid of.

Dreams come true you know.

Though Wike is my least favourite of All d candidates,I'll still give him his dues...he is an astute politician n has done his homework n remains d man
To beat presently.
I fear for the state tho if he becomes gov.
Don't see Dakuku beating him if he(Wike) emerges d gov.aspirant of pdp.
If he picks an Ogoni deputy, it's basically a done deal..wit d gen sense of betrayal d Ogonis are feeling now.
