Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has taken a swipe against those accusing him and Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State of frustrating the micro-zoning of the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to South East.

Governor Wike said he had always believed in and supported concerted efforts towards ensuring that the presidency was zoned to the South.

He spoke at Itu Bridge Head, the venue of the flag-off of the Akpabu-Odido Road in Emohua Local Government Area on Monday.

“I was one of those who led the campaign that the party’s chairmanship should go to the North because I believed the presidency should go to the South.

“I attended meetings of southern governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties from Delta to Lagos to Enugu states, where we agreed that presidency should come to the South.”

Governor Wike insisted that while southern cross-party consultations were going on, there were people in the PDP who were bent on frustrating the eventual zoning of the party’s presidential ticket to the South.

He maintained that such people could not now turn around to cast the blame on him and Governor Ortom to hide their scheme thinking they could deceive Nigerians.

“I woke up this morning and read where they said, how Wike and Ortom frustrated PDP’s micro-zoning of the presidential ticket to South East. That was what the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku, said.

“I keep on saying, they’ll be contradicting themselves, telling lies up and down, thinking that Nigerians don’t know. How can they say that I influenced Ortom, told him to allow and throw the ticket open?

Governor Wike said further: “Nigerians know those who are opposed to the zoning of the party’s chairmanship first.

“And when the zoning committee was set up, this time, Atiku had gone to buy form to frustrate the recommendation of the zoning committee.

“So that when they have bought form, they could say, oh, there is no need of zoning, will you tell people to withdraw?”

Governor Wike said it was rather noteworthy that their gimmick was now hunting them because they were unfair to Nigerians.

“Yes, you don’t like Ortom, no problems. I know my own, you don’t like me, no problems. But, I, my state gave you the highest support in 2019 both with logistics and by votes.

“You can’t deceive every Nigerians again. What I have stood for are equity, fairness and justice.

“So, saying that I and Ortom frustrated PDP micro-zoning to South East is neither here nor there. They know that they don’t want the presidency to come to the South.”

The Rivers State governor urged the presidential candidate of the PDP to leave him out of the attendant challenges he is facing in the party.

Governor Wike, however, stated that a bad product was always difficult to sell, otherwise, former president Olusegun Obasanjo would have recommended Atiku Abubakar to Nigerians having worked together with him.

Wike said instead of Obasanjo doing so, the former president choose to endorse another presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.

Governor Wike insisted that if former president Obasanjo had refused to recommend Atiku, then, something must be fundamentally wrong.

He opined that Alhaji Atiku should be more concerned about that loss of confidence from his former boss, and his coming election.

Commenting on the road project, Governor Wike expressed gratitude to God that the Odido community will get a modern road for the first time in its history during his administration.

Governor Wike boasted that given the overwhelming joy expressed by the Odido people, it is difficult to believe that they will cast their votes for candidates of another party except for the PDP

Providing a description of the project, Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Dr George-Kelly Dakorinima Alabo, said the Akpabu-Odido Road also has a 22 meters long bridge.

According to him, with the contractor already mobilised to the site about two months ago, the project will be completed within the agreed five months period.

He said this would in turn enable members of the community to drive on road for the first time into their homestead, enjoy associated development, and gain easy access to their farms and improved commercial life.

In his address, the Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, Chidi Lloyd, said the Odido community is an island that has never seen asphalted roads and is not linked to any neighbouring community.

With the flag-off and commencement of actual construction work, Lloyd enthused that it would be the end of the ordeal Odido people usually suffer.

Wike, the g-5 or g-6 should leave all these lamentations and que behind PODATTI,the national project to kick start the rescue of Nigeria.
PODATTI is a national project to kick start the rescue of our nation.
Enough of the lamentations, let's come together and build our nation

God has destined that tinubu will rule this country. From Peter obi acting as a spoiler in the south to kwankwaso acting as a spoiler in the north. Now G-5 wahala

Wike is too selfish & self-centered. Only about him... Too bad.

When a fool is talking!

He has forgotten that his famous unfortunate Ortom was the chairman of the committee that gave their suggestions and recommendations that the party followed.

Mad men! Little did they know where their thinking ends that is where others will start from.

They thought they were seeing their noses while others were already seeing their ears.

Very selfish Atiku. Na so de guy sell all our publicly owned business and carried the money to UAE. Now, he's so unfair he wants to succeed a fellow Fulani after 8 years of that fellow Fulani using Fulani to kill Nigerians from Kaduna to Enugu to Benue to Ogun States and more. If he succeeds, FRN will turn to 'Fulani Republic of Nigeria':

Stop insulting God by lying with his name and mentioning him in the same sentence with your criminal drug lord. If God supports a senile criminal druglord to keep messing our lives up after Buhari, then, what sort of God is that? You see, from renting a bishop to thrash-talking about poisoned holy communion to saying that God destined Tinubu to be President, I now see why God is punishing Tinubu with so many public disgraces.

I recently learned the real reason why African leaders and citizens are so irresponsible: African kids are trained to be subservient rather than responsible. So, the vicious cycle continues. Leaders are irresponsible and many of the masses like to keep it that way...

This story, is purpose-built to speak to parents, teachers, and grown-up youths across cultures. Thus, it's about a typical case of an African parent raising a child in a European neighbourhood.

I believe you have desired a few times - if not more - about RAISING RESPONSIBLE ADULTS OUT OF YOUR CHILDREN. Now, here's a secret you must hold dear to your worried heart: If you want a child to be responsible early enough, give him/her a sense of belonging and responsibility early enough.

But, it's not as simple as just said. Rather, there is a delicate balance that needs to be attained between giving and taking responsibilities between parents and teachers on one side, and the kids on the other based on a number of factors.

There are issues so delicate that you can learn them well only by relating them to living examples. So, in the Premiere Episode of Ezek:
How My Teenage Son Started This Revolution In Swindon, you read the conversation between Ezek and his Dad.

The youth was being responsible enough to obey his Dad and respond to an emergency situation. The boy was also responsible enough to fold up a piece of fabric he knew was dear to his Dad.

The boy was this responsible! Yet, his Dad was so irresponsible that he (Dad) rebuked him (Son) for a responsible act he (Son) did for him (Dad) too. Hope you read the story above���.

At this point, Ezek would have been irresponsible if he let his Dad's irresponsibility be. Hence, you can see how Ezek's Dad utilized the gaffe, turning it to an advantage.

Are we giving and taking from our children the right amounts of responsibility? This will determine a lot how fast and how well they grow into responsible adulthood.

In our next meeting (if it holds), we will discuss the highly nuanced subject of taking and giving responsibilities. You will be able to see far behind Ezek's Dad's parenting philosophy that makes him apportion just enough responsibility to kids at the right age brackets to get them healthily responsive.

What I know is that Peter Obi will win in February

When someone cant be bought.......

.....dem no dey fear!

Ugwuanyi is the main culprit.
That bloated Igbo coward couldn't stand his ground when others were saying the ticket was to be zoned to the South. He was made the Chairman of the zoning Committee and he wouldn't even do the job he was assigned.

Meabe2, Wike forgot to mention the stupid PDP delegates from the East who voted Atiku because they were given 30 pieces of silver.

Following The Thread

Truth be told.

Wike and Ortom worked in vain for the ticket not to be micro zoned which would have been given to South East unopposed.

Wike was thinking that he could buy his way through Ortom and the rest to the ticket by claiming it is the turn of the South but kama is always a bitch and since he did evil to his brothers from the south east as them rivers people always do, he also eventually lost it to atiku.

Which ever way this matter goes, wike will lose and he is already seeing the handwriting on the board because igbos never forget.

If wike decides to trow his weight behind Peter Obi to help clean his image, Peter Obi is a no nonsense man and all mafias in anambra can attest to that and with people like wike who is a complete tout and an illiterate plus power mise road, OBI will not think twice before serving him breakfast and even wike knows that.

2. If wike out of fear trows his weight behind emilokan, rivers voters will see wike as a betraya and a stupid man and wike will still lose.

Again wike has lost all what he laboured for in the PDP because atiku and the rest of PDP are currently busy deleting everything about wike in the PDP and wike will leave office this same 2023 so he will be eventually religated and nobody from any party will want to trust him after seeing his STRONG MAN behaviour and lack of respect for his seniors.

Wike will be like "na me furk up" now them never leave u? They have left wike behind
Las Las wike done buy market wey em no go fit sale.

Take this to the bank

Useless Turaki

Governor Wike is acting like a bitter bitch who got dumped in a relationship. This was the same muthafucka that frustrated Peter Obi in his quest to contest for the PDP Presidential candidacy in the PDP ooooooo. The person he needs to be fighting with is Tambuwal..... not Atiku.
Wike ain't nothing but a bitchass ho!

We know this already. We know Atiku is desperate. I laughed when he said he was going to be president for just one term and then it will go to the south.
It's easier to believe Tinubu if he said he would rule just once than to believe Atiku.

Fr33born:
We know this already

hnmm

After Atiku emerged as pdp flagbearer, the apc chairman then tried to foist the senate president - Ahmed "barbie doll" lawan on Nigerians

And this was his reason we have to field a northern Muslim candidate in order to checkmate the emergence of atiku of pdp

An Ahmed dull baby lawan as apc candidate is same as a tinubu as candidate.one thing is common to them LOOOOOOOOOOOSERS

Southern traitors you mean? They know themselves

We Yoruba Christian's will support Tinubu on Muslim Muslim ticket, we are not fools

Access321a:
Wike is dragging this too much

He has not even started.
If the South was to succeed the South after 8 years, would the North agree?
Better shut up if you don't have anything to say.

Atiku was just desperate to Lose once Again come 2027 PDP will still give the ticket to him and Lose once more

Obidient built a forum of their own...woww!

Ayanfet68: The monopoly of Nairaland is finally over

He is not. Agreement is agreement. And he is fighting for equity. Nigeria isn’t for the north alone

Wike should shut up

See drama! Wike is giving Atiku sleepless night

Wike the cry cry baby

What a man!

This man has been relegated to d bench




Just like CR7

This man and OBJ don finish Atiku's ambition. Rivers used to be a key state for the pdp but the narrative will change this time. Tinubu and atiku will share the core north. No Block votes are expected there this time.
