I Have No Presidential Ambition For Now - Wike by madamgrace: 10:21am On Jun 29, 2020
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said he is not nursing the ambition of running for the office of the President of Nigeria. Gov. Wike stated this while featuring in a television programme monitored in Port Harcourt.

He said the speculations linking him to presidential ambition were distractions. He further said, “Right now, I am focusing on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Rivers State.

“Recall that in 2018 and 2019 when I was supporting my friend, Aminu Waziri Tambulwal, it was speculated in the media that I was going to run with him. That was my first tenure, and I had not even completed it and they wanted me to give that away.

“To clear every speculation, let me state that I am not going to run for the office of the President of Nigeria for now. I am concentrating in developing Rivers State. I am not a party to anybody saying that the problems in PDP is about 2023.”

Commenting on a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar’s aspiration to contest for the presidency 2023, Wike said it was a fundamental right that could not be denied.

On zoning of PDP presidential ticket to the North, Gov. Wike said the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party had not taken a final decision.

He explained that, “We will come together to resolve issues because we are a family. Outsiders cannot do things that will divide us. What we are interested in now is how we can remain united to take over power from APC that has failed Nigeria.”

What is this country turning into... Can't believe this is happening... They are now in Abuja ,Lagos, P H, Imo state, Enugu and so many places to be mentioned Ooooh.... This lady called a shoe maker To Help fix her slippers... She allowed him to stay in the compound while she went back inside to continue with what she was doing. While he was fixing the slippers. He added something under before stitching it back luckily for the lady, her landlord was at the balcony watching the shoemaker without his knowledge ', when he was through he called her to tell her that he has finished. She came out, he told her to try it on her leg to make sure it was OK. Her landlord shouted from upstairs' no oh, don't put ur leg in that slippers I'm coming. He came downstairs' forced the shoemaker to put his leg in the slippers, the shoemaker refused. Then he alarted neighbors. So they all gathered, forced him to wear the slippers. Immediately he put his leg in the slippers, Guess what happened The slippers cut...... He did not sew it well... Thank you for ur time
