Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has advised other parties against campaigning in the State, pinpointing that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will win the oil-rich state in next year’s elections.
He made this known on Saturday while speaking at the State Honours and Awards ceremony held at the Banquet Hall of Government House in Port Harcourt.
Wike who urged opposition parties not to waste their resources campaigning in the state said, “Lawyer, you must make money but here don’t worry yourself; nobody (opposition) would win here.
“I told David Umahi, Governor of Kogi (Yahaya Bello), and Abubakar Malami (Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice) when they came to visit me, ‘Don’t put money here it won’t work; it is a no-go area’,” the governor added.
The Governor revealed that his government already has a successor as a result of his administration’s efforts.
“In my state, we know who is going to be my successor. I want to advise you if you are spending money on anybody, stop,” Wike said.
“Here, we have a successor. It is not by my power but by what we have done in this state. It is not that I want to impose a successor. It is not true.
“Bring a successor and tell people why you want to bring a successor.”
