Withdraw Wike From Governorship Race, Elders Tell PDP, Jonathan by honey001(m): 7:57am On Dec 30, 2014 |
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. http://www.punchng.com/news/withdraw-wike-from-gov-race-elders-tell-pdp-jonathan/ 8 Likes 2 Shares |

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 19 Likes |

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. 50 Likes 1 Share |

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. 15 Likes 1 Share |
