Rivers State Governor and Presidential Aspirant under Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governor Nyesom Wike has said that he was not contesting the election to become vice president or former presidential candidate but to secure an outright victory at the poll.
Wike who stated this in Abakaliki while addressing PDP Party stakeholders and delegates at the state party secretariat, as part of his consultations the across country said that he possessed the qualities needed to become the President.
"I did not purchase form for any other position in case my presidential bid fails as I possess all characteristics needed to become the president.
"I have stayed with the party through all trying periods as people should not expect to reap where they did not sow.
Wike urged delegates from the state to support his ambition saying that he is the only PDP candidate that can defeat the All Progressive Congress in the 2023 general election.
“I beg you (delegates) to give me the PDP presidential ticket. Currently, you are the most important in the country, that’s why I’m begging you. When I win the ticket, then I can talk to Nigerians.
“What I need is the PDP presidential ticket to send APC packing. The APC is the Satan that is troubling Nigeria. We don’t have to allow the APC to continue in power anymore. Don’t be sentimental about it.”
“If you want to continue to suffer and be killed by bandits and kidnappers, then don’t give me the PDP ticket. But if you want all these nonsense to stop in Nigeria and want the best for our children, the youths and the women, then give me the PDP ticket.
“It’s only me that can defeat the APC. Other aspirants don’t have what it takes. Therefore, I beg you to give me the PDP ticket and the moment you give it to me, then go to bed and sleep with your two eyes closed.
“This is because, I am the aspirant that can chase APC out of power, with the PDP presidential ticket.”
Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu thanked the party faithful for their commitment at ensuring that the party remained strong in the state despite inherent challenges.
"This is our best opportunity to reclaim the governance of the state and Nigeria as these could be achieved with the collective efforts of all.
Chief Ali Odefa, National Vice Chairman of the party for the south east zone said the state will identify with Wike due to his relentless love and support to the party.
