Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has warned that nobody can undermine the interest of the people of Southern Nigeria over who flies the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Speaking yesterday during a meeting of stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Rivers State at Government House in Port Harcourt, the governor faulted those who are traversing the country in consultation with stakeholders over their interest in the race, but are actually declaring their ambition inadvertently.
Wike said the people of Southern Nigeria will make a bold statement at the appropriate time and Nigerians will know where they stand, noting that Southern Nigeria, and particularly Rivers State, is an enduring asset to the PDP and cannot be treated with levity. Wike explained that since PDP is an opposition party, there is need for every member to forge unity within the party, build greater team spirit and protect it from those who want to sow seeds of discord.
