The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has urged his people to support his preferred candidate because according to him, he won’t mislead them. Recall that Wike has been at loggerheads with his party leaders since the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party. Even though Wike has not yet come out publicly to declare his support for a particular candidate, indications emerged that he instructed his people to vote for a certain presidential candidate on Saturday.
While inaugurating some road projects in the Port Harcourt Local Government Area, Governor Wike stated that he cannot mislead Rivers people on his political decision concerning the presidential candidate to support on Saturday. According to Mr Wike, the interest and protection of the state is paramount to him so he will never do anything that will destroy the state.
“For what Rivers State has given me, I owe them (Rivers people) a lot in my life and I will continue to protect their interest. I am not going to sell Rivers State to anybody for a pot of porridge. I will not mislead Rivers people.” He added.
