What Wike Said About Senatorial Form - Aide, Kelvin Ebiri by OLAADEX(m): 7:10pm On Sep 24, 2022
Governor Nyesom Wike has denied the report in some national dailies and online newspapers that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, offered him senatorial ticket to defect the APC.

In statement signed by Kelvin Ebiri, Special Assistant on Media to Governor, Wike said Tinubu never offered him Senatorial ticket



TINUBU NEVER OFFERED WIKE SENATORIAL TICKET.

Our attention has been drawn to a misleading report in some national dailies and online newspapers, particularly, Sahara Reporters that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, offered the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, senatorial ticket to defect the APC.

Governor Wike was alleged to have disclosed this during the media chat that was aired on Channels Television, African Independent Television, Nigerian Television Authority and TVC on Friday, 23 September, 2022.

We wish to state emphatically that this news is false, baseless and ludicrous as the Rivers State governor throughout the media chat never mentioned the name of the APC presidential candidate or alluded to him offering him a senatorial ticket.

To lay the facts bare, we have decided to include herein the transcript of what governor Wike said concerning senatorial form.

“First of all, this is how you know those who are prepared to run an election. Some of them collected presidential form at the same time collected senatorial form. You'll know that those people are not serious to run.

“I never collected senatorial form. Even after the whole thing, people said come and go for Senate, I said no. I won't do that. I've already made a commitment that this Senate ticket should be zoned to this area (Etche) because they've never had it before. I must not be in power.”

In an era of increasingly divisive political climate, the tendency to pervert the truth is extremely high. It is on this basis that we wish to remind journalists that journalism’s first obligation is to the truth.

“At this critical juncture in our nation, we wish to remind journalists that getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. Journalists are enjoined to always strive for accuracy and give all the relevant facts in their report.

“We, therefore, urge the unsuspecting public not to give any credence to this false, baseless and ill motivated reports.”

Whether you said it or not is inconsequential. Both of you have only two votes.

BAT has been meeting and talking with heavy weights in Nigeria. Same with Atiku. Their thinking is that the old order still retains. Where one big politician uses money to brain wash electorates and manipulate elections.
By the grace of Almighty God and the mercy of Allah, all you guys bus stop is here.

Many nations have freed themselves and the great God will free us and make you guys understand that your manipulations have ended. Enough is enough.

I was wondering when he said so during that interview. For God sake, it was covered live and the video online.

Clearly, it is a waste of time addressing the media and idle jesters on social media. They want to write their own stories and not the truth or facts.

Asiwaju will not waste his time and scarce resources on low priority tasks such as entertaining the fake news media and idle social.media jesters while Asiwaju keeps living rent free in their heads.

No, that's not the point.

The point is that, why the lie that he said so, when in fact he didn't?

Secondly, freedom is not about handing over the nation to igbo, so stop that bullcrap.

They spread fake news 24/7 to defame others, yet they claimed they wanted a better Nigeria.

These zombidients are up to something dangerous and true Nigerians must watch out.

'Take back your country' as always chanted by Peter Obi, has a meaning far more than what you think.

You can't base your strategy solely on lies and propaganda and be telling me you want to free Nigeria from corrupt politicians.

Wike should stop excessive drinking. This is what he said

“I didn’t contest so I can become a vice presidential candidate, I am not like others who were not serious and bought senatorial form alongside presidential form and that’s why when Tinubu offered me senate slot, I didn’t go for it,’’ Wike said

There'll be hundreds of new monikers on nairaland by the end of February next year.

All those touts parading themselves on nairaland claiming Obi supporters, by the time election results are announced and their Lord could only muster 100k votes, the next thing is to deactivate.

An ex PDP member is suddenly the Messiah of the gullible youths.

The good thing about reality is that it will eventually hit you.

Screenshot this comment and keep.

Obi will not win any state in Nigeria in next year's election.
