Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has once more stated that he will not support Atiku Abubakar and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s campaign for the presidency in 2023 due to their allegedly unfavourable personalities.
During a flag-off today at Ogbo-Ihugbogo Road in Ahoada East LGA of Rivers, Wike apparently jeered at Atiku & Okowa, praying to God not to allow the duo take hold of the presidency come 2023.
In his words, the Governor said: “Some people said it is only God who can decide who becomes President. We agree. We’re where we are today because of God.
“Nobody can even breathe without God, talk much of holding political office. But our prayer is, God doesn’t allow those who will sell off Nigeria in one second of being in power. God, don’t allow anybody that who you will have agreement with and in the next two minutes the person will change (renege on the agreement).
“Our prayer is God, don’t allow betrayers who will betray their brothers after agreeing with their brothers to do a particular thing. God may you not allow such people (to takeover presidency)”
He added, “Don’t be treacherous in life because you want power. God will never give power to the wicked. Our hands are clean we have not done anything wrong. All we are saying is, do things in a way all of us will have sense of belonging.
That all of us will believe that we are together. That is all we are saying. If saying so is wrong, then let it be to God. But we know that it is good as right takes, let left take also.
“I heard them say that PDP is a responsible party I agree. But when they left PDP in 2014 against 2015. When they left and made PDP to lose our election. Today, we are struggling to take over power from APC. Who are those who are mad to lose this power,” he concluded.
