August 30, (THEWILL) – Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has said “something will happen soon”, on the lingering crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike spoke on Monday, at the flag-off of internal roads at Rumuesara, Eneka town, in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The Governor has been in a face-off with the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over the outcome of the presidential primary election in May.
This was further deepened with the selection of Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, as the party’s vice presidential candidate.
Amid the crisis rocking the PDP, Wike met with Atiku Abubakar in London, after series of failed attempts to resolve the impasse.
Wike also held meetings with former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, as well as Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi; and his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Bola Tinubu.
Governor Wike also alleged that some of the persons canvassing to be Nigeria’s President, were only putting themselves together to loot what is left of the nation’s treasury.
Amid apprehension about his ongoing meetings, Wike said some of the presidential candidates for the 2023 election do not mean well for the country, adding that he is in a privileged position to know better, and would reveal their identities at the appropriate time, so that Nigerians could use their votes to reject them.
Wike said: “Some other people are busy, putting themselves together on how they will take over leadership in Nigeria to loot the remaining ones these other people have already kept.
“I am privileged to know and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who these people are. You need to know what is happening in Nigeria.
“Forget about all these people running around saying they want to rescue or save you (Nigeria). Just watch to see what is going to happen next.
“All of us should be calm concerning what is happening in PDP. In fact, nothing has happened yet, but by the grace of God, something will happen.”
He pointed out that while his administration has continued to flag-off and inaugurate projects for Rivers people, detractors have kept sponsoring negative media campaigns against him.
Wike stated that despite such negative media comments, his administration has not relented in offering good governance to strengthen the relationship with the people of Rivers State.
He said: “Look at us concentrating in giving our people good governance. What is good governance? Good governance is making the people to be happy.
“Good governance is providing infrastructure for the people. Good governance is not about party. Providing good governance is about leadership.
“We are here every day flagging off projects, commissioning projects, even though our tenure is coming to an end.”
