Governor Nyesom Wike in a state wide broadcast, on Wednesday, March 23, 2016, thanked citizens of Rivers state for voting for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded National Assembly rerun elections that held on Saturday, March 19, 2016.

The Governor also thanked the Rivers people for conducting themselves peacefully during the elections.

He also pledged his commitment and loyalty to President Buhari, adding that the Rivers government will do all in its power to assist security personnel to maintain peace and order in Rivers state.

He said ”I wish to also express my profound gratitude and loyalty to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari for his uncompromising commitment towards entrenching a permanent culture of free, fair and credible elections in the country.”

Wike also sympathised with the family of the corper who was killed during the elections, Mr. Dumiebi Samuel Okonta, and prayed that his soul rest in peace.

He also said ”I am fully convinced that all those persons, including highly placed politicians, INEC staff and members of the Security Services, who deliberately worked to sabotage the re-run elections in the State on March 19, 2016, were fifth columnists and enemies of progress who were out and determined to undermine the electoral process and perpetuate the old discredited ways of doing things in order to ridicule the people of Rivers State, Mr. President, and the nation in general, as incapable of conducting credible and violence elections before the global community.”

”I wish to re-emphasize that I fully share Mr. President’s position that we must as a people and as a nation exterminate the scourge of recurring flawed elections and join the rest of the civilized world in conducting relatively flawless and credible elections at all times,” Wike added.

Thank you!

......................The same Buhari you promised to send to his ancestors.

One think I like about Buhari is that he doesn't join issues with rats Becos he (buhari)is a Lion.

Hahahaha

WIKE is playing a power game and if Amaechi fail to see it, he would end up a big loser.

"Never Outshine your master"

He's showing in public that he's an ardent supporter and Buhari loyalist and Buhari would have no option but to support him and his government as well, spiting amaechi.

Never knew he had this much of a sense...not fayose.

Even the fact that he pretends not to know or hear what Fayose and the likes say about him is commending.

Wike is a Wise Man...

He must have heard about Buhari's way of Handling people!!

#BeLikeWike!

I could not have said it better

Wike is playing mind games with buhari.

Wike should also teach Fayose to learn how to pledge loyalty to the president.

Nice one Wike!

The Ekiti man is an embarrassment to the office, functions and dignity of a Governor.
If all he knows about governance is to be cutting kpomo, buying plantain and boli, then the state allocation should be withheld until he has a clear cut plan for ekiti state development. Infact Fayose is a daft and a nuisance of a thug.
