Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to even contemplate presenting a governorship candidate for the 2019 election in the state shows that something is fundamentally wrong with the party.

Wike spoke in an interview at the Government House, Port Harcourt, stressing that aside from the plot to rig, the APC has no platform to campaign upon in the State.

“For the APC to think of bringing somebody in this state to challenge me, shows that something is fundamentally wrong with the party.

“What has the Federal Government done for the APC in Rivers State? What has Rivers APC achieved? Mention one thing. Is it in terms of the roads, the airport or seaports?” he queried. He regretted that the APC did not believe in credible polls, noting that rigging and fraud were in the DNA of the party.

“All their meetings, all their gatherings at the federal level, whether by hook or crook, they must have Rivers State. They want to use soldiers, SARs, DSS. All cries by the international community don’t matter. Just take Rivers State first,” he said.

Governor Wike said as a Minister of State for Education, his contributions to the development of Rivers State were scattered across the state.

He wondered why the current Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has failed the people of Rivers by refusing to attract a single project to the state.

Governor Wike said: “When I was a minister and he was in APC, I brought development to the state. For example, I brought the Faculty of Law to the University of Port Harcourt. I brought grant of N500 million to Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic and the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education.

“I’m from Rivers State and must contribute to the development to the state. As at the time I was in the Federal Government, he was the governor under APC and there was no development in the state. I brought the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) intervention to Rivers State. This is my State.”

Wike said, as governor of the State, he has transformed Rivers, citing key projects across the state. He said his third-year anniversary celebration underscored the fundamentals of good governance with leaders across political, traditional and social divides commissioning key projects.

The governor said in October, his administration would commence another leg of project commissioning. He noted that President Muhammadu Buhari would be invited to commission projects, even though he is unlikely to honor the invitation for political reasons.
Governor Wike said contrary to the propaganda of the APC, he is not against the federal government, adding that he is only committed to the fight against injustice.

“That’s the misconception; I don’t stand up against the federal government. I stand up against injustice and marginalization. It has nothing to do with the federal government. If this government is not in place tomorrow, and another government comes and perpetrates injustice, I will stand up against them. It has nothing to do with federal government,” Wike said.

On the alleged media propaganda by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), on the management of Rivers State finances under his leadership, Governor Wike maintained that the law had declared that the EFCC has no power to investigate the state government.

He said: “I’m not interested whether EFCC backs off or not, being a body that does not respect the rule of law. That is what the federal government is all about, impunity. You heard the president say national interest supersedes the rule of law. I’m not against the EFCC fighting corruption if at all they are fighting corruption.

“My concern is for us to do things in accordance with law. The law says we have a federation comprising the federal government, the states, and the local government areas. We go to the monthly federal allocation when money comes to the federation and all tiers take their share. The federal government is now saying the money that comes to states will be monitored.”

He noted that the EFCC could only be taken seriously, if it operates within the rule of law, by successfully appealing the 2007 judgment between the commission and the state government.

“I was not here in 2007 when the Rivers State government went to court against the EFCC; to say the commission has no constitutional power to interrogate the finances of the State government. And the matter was adequately addressed and judgment was given against EFCC. Since 2007; EFCC has been struggling to appeal the judgment. EFCC has not succeeded up till now. What they are doing now is when they feel a government is not pro-Buhari, let’s do this.

Laughing.

Wike wants to starts the drumbeats of war,when nobody has any fight with him. It is this same arrogant and boastful nature of Fayose that drew the calvary to Ekiti State,and the rest as they say is history.

If you are bothered about the EFCC, which seems to be on your mind lately, then concentrate on keeping the States financial records clean. So that when you leave, you will not end up in jail.

speak on our rugged & dogged governor...God pass them.

Make sales on your website even when you are asleep! Let’s Integrate Payment Solutions For You

On Cyber Monday 2016, Amazon sold 36.8 million items worldwide. Konga, Jumia, Payporte (sponsor of BigBrother Naija), are making millions of sales in a month. New entry Ecommerce sites Like Rango.com.ng, Bestfoodsonline.com, Foodsquartersng.com are making good sales on their websites, seemlessly!

A company website is a must-have in today’s Internet-driven economy. But while most companies have a website, few use them to their full potential to drive sales and revenue. That’s a shame, because websites are often a major investment in terms of time and money, and they can be a lot of work to keep updated.

So if you aren't maximizing the return on investment of your site, you're missing out on a huge opportunity.

Why don't you contact us now and turn your website into a Shopping destination?

Mr project mind don dy cut

Stupid talk from a WikeD man.

Since APC announced Arch Tonye Cole as it's consensus candidate, The WikeD one has not had sleep coz he knows that the moderates (who are in majority) are tired of him and his senior brother Amaechi.

Tell them

Wicked Wike isa gonna

Wike is scared

He knows everybody on their toes to get him out.


If PDP gives Wike a ticket and APC present "ANYBODY" from the Riverine area, APC will win.

it's other tribes Vs Ikwerres come 2019

Wike

Dude is shitting in his pants already. I swear.
2019 go sweet well well . I swear

Politics is indeed a dirty game. Wike doesn't need to utter this shameful message if he knows his performance will be enough to convince Rivers state people to vote him. Take for instance, Ambode and other performing governors' records will speak for them in the next coming election as opposition parties had already concede defeat.

A fearful prey, no doubt will be the first meat in a predator mouth.

so wike get mouth to talk now..... flat head

Gov Fayose said the same thing in Ekiti few months back. Wike may want to consult Fayose to hear from him how it ended him.

Reminder! Fayose is still in pain till now.

well said mr project

What is wrong with this man, Presenting a candidate is there any problem with that. what about Lagos What PDP have done there? infact wike is high with this statement.

So Rivers state is mowing your ruling state forever abi 2019 is around the corner
