“Pepper Dem” – Wike Speaks On Presidential Candidate Rivers Residents Should Vote On Saturday

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has asked residents of the state to vote for the presidential candidate that has their interest at heart.

Wike, who refused to name the particular candidate, called on the residents to honour the agreement he reached with them on the preferred flagbearer.

He stated this on Tuesday during the kick-off of the second phase of Ahoada-Omoku Road at Ogbo/Ukordu Junction in Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state.

The governor expressed unflinching faith in the willingness of voters in the state to use their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to “pepper” their political opponents.

He said: “I am sure you must have brought out your PVC and kept it very well so that nobody will say my PVC is missing. Go now and put it under your pillow.

“By 6:30 in the morning on Saturday make sure you’re in your various polling units and use your PVC and pepper them. Help us and use your PVC to pepper those wicked people.”

The Director of Media and Communication for the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga has confirmed that Wike is supporting the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer, Bola Tinubu.

Naija News reports that Onanuga’s confirmation comes amidst speculation about the presidential candidate Wike would declare support for.
