2023: Wike Speaks After Meeting With Ortom, Makinde, Others

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has insisted that nobody can break the bond between the aggrieved Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Wike stated this after meeting with the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, on Sunday in Makurdi.

Others in the meeting are Seyi Makinde, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and Okezie Ikpeazu, from Oyo, Enugu and Abia states respectively.

The aggrieved governors have continued to call for the resignation of the national chairman of PDP, Iyorchia Ayu.

According to Wike, their stand to restructure the party has seen some people make efforts to break their ranks but cannot succeed.

He said, “And if you look at us here, the way we are, people have tried to see how they can break us, you cannot. We are bonded to save Nigeria.

“That is why when you see all of us, we are impenetrable. Nobody can divide us. They have tried everything in this world to divide us, but no way.

“The way we operate; I will talk, we have people who don’t talk. You may be underrating them. By the time they will shock you, you will think it is Wike, it is not Wike you are seeing.”

Wike added that Nigerians in 2023 are waiting for Nigerians to rescue Nigeria, but the leadership of the party is not showing serious commitment to that course.

He added, “Agreement is agreement. Respect agreement, so that there will be peace, there will be unity. What we are asking for is inclusivity; include everybody.

“We are not talking about a presidential candidate. We have finished that one. We have a presidential candidate, we have a vice presidential candidate.

“But that one that will go to the other people, give them so that everybody will move forward. That is what we are saying, nothing more.”

Speaking on the 25 buses he donated to PDP in Benue State, Wike disclosed that the buses are part of the vehicles his team acquired for his presidential campaigns if he had won the primary.

He noted that since he didn’t win, the team agreed that the vehicles should be shared among those who supported the course.

Wike stated, “So, Ortom saying I gave you people vehicles, it is not correct. They are the vehicles that our team bought that time because of the (presidential primary) election, we would have won it, but to God be the glory.”
