Rivers state Governor Nyesom Wike has expressed full preparedness to be the president of Nigeria.
Special assistant to the governor on media, Kelvin Ebiri made this known in a statement, revealing that the governor said he has the capacity to address lingering issues of insecurity and poor national economy.
Wike stated that Nigerians can no longer resign to fate, suffer the pains of harsh economy and wanton killings under the watch of the All Progressive Congress (APC) led federal government.
He made those remarks when a group, the Northern Progressives Elements and Friends of Wike, in Abuja, presented the purchased Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to him on Tuesday to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The governor stated that it was time to save the country from the intractable lies of the APC led Federal Government that is completely bereft of governance, emphasising that both Nigerians and the PDP do not need persons that will chicken out when intimidated by the APC in the build up to the 2023 general election.
He said God has given him the wisdom, good health and it was time to utilise them to wrest power from the APC and tackle the numerous challenges facing the country.
Governor Wike thanked the Northern Progressives Elements and Friends of Wike for presenting him with the forms and calling on him to contribute his quota to salvaging the country.
He assured that with their help, he will do his best possible in salvaging Nigeria under the platform of Peoples Democratic party (PDP)
Senator Sulieman Nazif, who presented the forms to Governor Wike on behalf of the Northern Progressives Elements, explained that they decided to pool their resources together to purchase the forms because of their belief in the governor’s love for the country.
The governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde thanked all who contributed their resources to purchase the forms for Wike, and maintained that Nigeria at this point needs a leader that is energetic and not people that are tired and lack the direction to salvage the country.
On his part, former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, Fayose commended the group and friends of Wike for their kind gesture and declared that, “ Nigeria is at the verge of return to new Nigeria.”
