2023:  Why Politicians are taking Southern region for granted – Wike
ShareTweetShareShare

Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers State, has on Monday, stated that politicians are taking the southern region for granted on the issue of zoning the presidential ticket to the region.

He said this in a statement by his spokesperson, Kelvin Ebiri, during a meeting of stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.

According to him, people take the south for granted, saying that they are not together.

Nyesom Wike went on to state that people in the southern region are now assets and not a liability.

He said;

“Please, discountenance anything you’re seeing and hearing; all those social media posts.

“The south will make a statement very soon. It is not about you’ll be vice-president to this or these people are consulting. The day the south makes a statement, Nigerians will know that we are not joking.

“It’s not to come out to say you’re consulting. You’re consulting, yet, you’ve declared. Is it not after consultation that you declare? You’ve already declared and you say you’re consulting. What are you consulting again then?

“And people take the south for granted, saying that they are not together. No problem. If we didn’t know yesterday, today we know. We are assets. We are not a liability. When we say we are going to support the party, we support the party with everything we have. We are not in America where you do television campaigns.

“When we come out, we will choke them. They know it. So, everybody should relax. Let the south do their homework and then, they’ll make a proper statement.

“What is necessary is how the party must be cohesive; to make sure that the party gets it right. When you threaten that it must be north, then you’re not trying to make peace or when you threaten it must be south, you’re not trying to make peace.

“It’s a matter of sitting down and understanding; look at this and that. That is the way it’s supposed to be.”

Wike also noted that members of the PDP, irrespective of the region they come from, must work together towards achieving positive results in the 2023 elections.

he urged party supporters to disregard the recent comment made by Raymond Dokpesi, former chairman of Daar Communications and a PDP chieftain, on the zoning of the presidential ticket to the south in 2027.
