Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has boasted that all aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), known as the G5, will win elections in their state.

Naija News understands that Wike stated this while speaking at the Rivers PDP 2023 election campaign flag-off held at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Omagwa, Ikwerre Local Government Area of the State.

While declaring that he would not back the presidential ambition of Atiku Abubakar, Wike said Nigeria belongs to everyone including Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo, Ikwerre, Urhobo and other tribes.

Describing the five aggrieved governors as the PDP Integrity Governors, Wike said not a single one of them will lose governorship seats in their states.

“My dear brothers of the Integrity Group, you’ve done well. They have tried to break us, they couldn’t break us and they will never break us,” Wike said.

“Here in Rivers, I will say it and let the heavens hear me. Let the earth hear me today. I will not support anybody who says that no other person from other ethnic group can be President. I will not do it.

“Nigeria belongs to all of us whether you’re Hausa, Fulani; whether you’re Yoruba, whether you’re Igbo, or you’re Ikwerre, whether you’re Urhobo, whether you’re Itsekiri, you’re Ijaw, or from anywhere, you are entitled to be President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“So, when you go on national television and tell anybody, don’t vote for the Yoruba, don’t vote for the Igbo, you didn’t even mention where I come from, which means, nobody identifies with me. Which means, I come from nowhere. But God knows that I come from some where.

“Not one of the PDP Integrity Governors will lose governorship seats of their states. No amount of gang-up will make us to lose Abia, Enugu, Benue, and Oyo states, and who is that that will come and win Rivers State?”
