Reason we’re not campaigning for any presidential candidate — Gov Wike

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike on Tuesday revealed reasons he and loyalists in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State have not been campaigning ahead of the next month’s presidential election.

The Governor said his camp has not reached any agreement on whom to support for the presidential seat.

Wike made this revelation on Tuesday in Bonny Town during the Local Government Campaign Flag-off rally which was put in place by the state’s campaign council.

He said; “That is the election we are doing here. These are the ones (candidates) who told me to come and campaign for them. No other person told me to campaign for him.

“I can’t force myself to campaign for you when you have not asked for it. These ones (candidates) have told me, so, I’ve come here to campaign. If somebody asks you to work for him, you’ll work for him. But if they don’t want you to work for them, will you force them?”

The Governor said anyone who says the state is not important will pay for it.

He further said; “Any person who says Rivers State is not important, we will pepper him. Anybody who says he doesn’t regard Rivers State, we will not regard such person.

“There’s nothing like propaganda, nothing like intimidation because nobody can intimidate us. We are very, very solid. We are very strong.

“Nobody can point at us to determine what will happen here. Nobody can do such. So, be bold to say, I’m from Rivers State, I live in Rivers and I am happy with Rivers. What is important is our state which we have collected,” he stated.
