Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has revealed that anybody hoping to be president in 2023 would need to secure votes in Rivers and combine with either Kano or Lagos to emerge victorious.
According to Wike, such a pivotal position established the importance of Rivers in the political scheme of the country, adding that nobody would be allowed to undermine it.
Wike’s Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, spoke at the grand finale of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) local government election campaign at Ulakwo in Etche local government area on Thursday, April 15.
He said: “I keep telling the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that no state has given more votes to the party than Rivers. And it is only in Rivers, in the whole of south-south, that the All Progressives Congress (APC) didn’t get 25% votes in the 2019 general election. We thought them a lesson.”
