Can Wike Decide Choice of Rivers' Voters? (THISDAY Newspapers)

For Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, there is no limit to what he can do to make the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to ...

So, by the same token, Governor Wike must also realise that the votes in Rivers are not warehoused in the Rivers State Government House and that they are with the people on the streets,” the BoT member said. The ones that are in the state are inactive for fear of being attacked. However, a PDP campaign spokesman told THISDAY that Wike cannot solely decide the choice of the people of Rivers State. The BoT member who spoke on condition of anonymity recalled what the Rivers governor told journalists when they asked him why he did not visit the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, during his visit. Many believe the Rivers State governor is playing God because of the huge resources at his disposal. Atiku’s photographs have also disappeared from all campaign materials of the PDP in the state and anybody found with any material promoting Atiku is considered an enemy of Rivers. For Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, there is no limit to what he can do to make the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to secure any vote in 2023. It is unlikely for anyone to see any Atiku’s billboard, posters or other campaign materials in the state unlike in 2019 when Wike supported the Adamawa-born politician. Suspected political thugs last Thursday morning invaded the residence of Maeba in the GRA, Phase 3 axis of Port Harcourt, the state capital. Atiku’s loyalists in the state, such as former National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus; former governor, Celestine Omehia, as well as other leaders like former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives Austine Opara, Senator Lee Maeba, and Farah Dagogo, have all since been declared enemies of the state with their businesses being threatened. If you do it for us, it means we will come and do it for you again. Will you vote for House of Representatives candidates?

Wike, derivation fund and Niger Delta governors (Vanguard)

By Salome Durugbo. DID Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers intend to shame his colleagues from the Niger Delta states when he recently asked their constituents ...

He has done nothing until he makes Rivers the leading state in educational and sporting excellence, until he makes Rivers the leading producer of techies and nerds capable of meeting the demands of the 21st century. Wike should be invited to take a tour of Delta State, where Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is working from the uplands to the creeks; creating jobs, making entrepreneurs and lifting people out of poverty. He should copy the Delta template of skill acquisition, empowerment and seeding startups with take-off grants to become employers of labour. Wike should copy the Okowa template of diversity in development, in the distribution of development across the three senatorial districts of Delta. The answer is blowing in the wind. If Wike and his Southern PDP members were ever serious about bringing the presidency to the South, they would have reached a compromise; they would have formed a formidable alliance; and one would have stepped down for the other. And we know why he uses a particular foreign contractor for his projects, undermining the Federal Government’s policy on local content. All over the world, democracy thrives on the rule of law, the mores, and the decisions of political parties; not on the dictates of one man, no matter how powerful such a man may be or the overbearing power he arrogates to himself. Wike is not the leader of the Niger Delta region. The majority will always win, and the minority will always have a say. To properly situate the Wike blip in context, it’s germane to examine the circumstances under which he made the comment. Both occasions, as is now clear, brought out the other side of Wike, a governor who enjoys hearing the sound of his own voice, even if it’s all noise devoid of logic.

Atiku, Wike factions bicker over thuggery in Rivers - Daily Trust (Daily Trust)

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to the party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and those of Governor Nyesom Wike are enmeshed.
