Rivers state governor Nyesom Wike, has issued a warning to other parties to avoid campaigning in Rivers State, maintaining that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would sweep the oil-rich state in next year’s elections.
Wike made this known during the State Honours and Awards held at the Banquet Hall, Government House in Port Harcourt on Saturday evening, which was duly monitored by Truth Live News.
“Lawyer, you must make money but here don’t worry yourself; nobody (opposition) would win here,” he said during the event, urging opposition parties not to waste their resources campaigning in the state.
“I told David Umahi, Governor of Kogi (Yahaya Bello), and Abubakar Malami (Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice) when they came to visit me, ‘Don’t put money here it won’t work; it is a no-go area’,” the governor added.
According to him, his government already has a successor and that is based on the good works of his administration.
“In my state, we know who is going to be my successor. I want to advise you if you are spending money on anybody, stop,” Wike said.
“Here, we have a successor. It is not by my power but by what we have done in this state. It is not that I want to impose a successor. It is not true. Bring a successor and tell people why you want to bring a successor.”
