Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has disclosed why God
may not forgive the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike said it will be difficult for God to forgive the PDP if
it fails to listen to Nigerians yearning for the party to return to power.
He spoke while answering questions from journalists during a
one day visit to Bauchi State on Saturday.
According to Wike: “It is also to make sure that the PDP is
united because, if the PDP makes the mistake of not listening to Nigerians, it
will be very difficult for God to forgive the PDP.
“This an opportunity to save Nigeria. We, Christians, know
that when the Israelites were in problems, God had to bring Moses to lead them.
“This insecurity, this is not the kind of Nigeria we want,
it is not the Nigeria where every day you wake up in the morning, the newspaper
says, ’40 people have been killed…’ There is no day in Nigeria that people are
not being killed.”
“God will never forgive PDP if it (PDP) fails to take
advantage of the woeful failure of APC to take over power in Nigeria in 2023 to
salvage the country.
“It’s only we (PDP) that can stop the issue of insecurity if
we join hands together to fight to save our Nigeria’s tomorrow,” the Rivers
governor declared.
Speaking on the presidential ambition of his Bauchi
counterpart, Wike said he endorsed Governor Mohammed to emerge the next
Nigeria’s President, saying that, “I endorse Bauchi State governor, Senator
Bala Mohammed, for president come 2023.”
He described Governor Mohammed as overqualified to lead the
country from 2023, informing that PDP would gladly welcome qualified
politicians like the Bauchi governor to replace the failed leadership of the
ruling APC.
“He is qualified in every ramification. His relationship
with people is second to none. So people calling on him to run for president
have seen the qualities in him.
“Apart from that, the fact that Bala has had all the
experiences, from the civil service down to political office from a Director in
the ministry, he became a senator, a minister and now a governor, that alone is
enough to qualify him,” Governor Wike said.
He submitted that the call on Mohammed to run for presidency
in 2023 was not misplaced as the Bauchi State governor was “very qualified to
run for president in this country”.
Wike called on the people of Bauchi State in particular and
Nigeria as whole to vote for Bala Mohammed because he (Mohammed) is
overqualified, saying that, “let me use that word if there is any word like
that at all.”
He asserted that his host has the pedigree, considering his
antecedents and performance as Bauchi State governor in less than three years
in office.
“Look at what he is doing in Bauchi. Look at his pedigree,
what he is doing as a first term governor.
“I have been here to flag off projects. So many of my
colleagues have been here to flag off projects. How many first time governors
do you see doing that?,” he asked.
Asked why he visited his colleague on New Year day, Wike
explained that he left Port Harcourt to be in Bauchi in an effort to make the
PDP a united party, adding that he also came to visit a special friend
(Governor Mohammed), whom he said he held in high esteem.
