Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has claimed that the citizens of his state won’t vote for a Presidential candidate that’ll kill when elected into office.
This was said by Wike on Saturday during a campaign event for the Obio-Akpor LGA put on by the PDP’s state branch.
The governor praised governors from the All Progressives Congress for their stance on a power shift to the South and said that the people of the state would only vote for unity, fairness, and equity.
Wike said: “We are going to vote for the unity of Nigeria. We are going to vote for equity, fairness, and justice. And that is why I salute the APC governorship who came out to say, for this country to be united, for this country to move on as one, that there is the need for power to shift.
“We are going to vote for people who have the interest of our state. Time has passed when you will tell me that Rivers State only produces so and so number of votes. I have no problem with that. In return, what have we gotten?
“From ward to ward in our local governments, they will tell you what we have decided. If you want me to survive politically, follow the way we are going.
“We will not support those who say when they come to power, they will kill me. We will not support those who say when they come to power, they will jail me. Will you allow them to kill me? Will you vote for those who do not want us to exist? Are you sure?”
