2023 Presidency: Nigeria Will Shake When The South Speaks - Wike

BY GODWIN OBI

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Saturday said the country will tremble when the South makes a declarative statement concerning the 2023 presidential election.

This is according to a statement signed by Wike’s spokesperson, Kelvin Ebiri.

Governor Wike reportedly made the assertion at a grand reception organised in his honour by the people of Kalabari ethnic nationality at the Abalama School field in Asari Toru Local Government Area on Saturday.

The governor was conferred a traditional title of Se-Ibidokibo of Kalabari land (He who does good things for Kalabari people) and was performed by the Amayanabo of Abonnema, King Gboko Desreal Bob-manuel.

“The day the South will speak, Nigeria will shake,” Wike said. “We believe in the unity of this country, but nobody can threaten us. Nobody should threaten us. We believe in the unity of Nigeria and unity of Nigeria must continue.”

Wike also noted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not give its presidential ticket to any candidate who will serve only the interest of the wealthy few in Nigeria.

The governor said some desperate politicians are already scheming for a candidate who will not serve the interest of the many, rather the interest of just those of the wealthy few.

“No amount of gang up can make PDP to give somebody who will want to run election for the interest of some big men, and not for all Nigerians,” he said.

“Anybody who wants to be candidate of PDP must be candidate for the interest of Nigerians.”

He expressed concerns over the fact that some companies in the country continue to post annual financial profits regularly in a downing national economy to the detriment of the poor.

Governor Wike opined that such profits, invariably, shared only by the rich, make them to get richer, while the majority of the population of the country, who are poor, gets poorer

The governor lampooned Rivers politicians serving in the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for their gross inability to attract federal government projects to the State.
