Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that the G-5 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not dead as claimed by some political actors in the state, but has tactically withdrawn from talking regularly in public to embark on strategic actions in silence in order to achieve set goals.
Wike, who stated this at the Rivers PDP campaign at St. Paul Primary School field at Ahoada on Tuesday, said that those who think that the ranks of the aggrieved G5 Governors have been disintegrated or died would never come near knowing their next line of action.
The governor described Senator Lee Maeba, a member of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council in the State as an illiterate and clueless for claiming that the G-5 is dead, stating that âin politics, there is time to always appear in public to indulge in talks, and having satisfactorily maximized that time, the group has withdrawn into silence to activate requisite political actions because February 25, 2023, is in view.
âYou people say G-5 is dead. We that you said are dead are not worried. But, you that is alive is worried. We are not talking again, we are not worried. Yet, you are worried. You fail to realize that in politics there is time for talking and time for action. Action has started and 25th February is the D- day.
âYou can never know what our plans and strategies are no matter how you people pressurise us. We will not disclose our strategy. The more you look, the less you see.â
Governor Wike, who chided the PDP for cancelling thir presidential campaign rally in Rivers state, noted that both presidential candidates of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiâu Musa Kwankwaso, had campaigned in the Rivers State, enjoyed logistics provided by the State government and never complained of any threat to life.
He also said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, is expected to campaign in Rivers State on Wednesday, because the party had applied and gotten a venue approved for them without any of them complaining of insecurity or threat to their life.
He insisted that Rivers State is the most peaceful State in the federation and that nobody can toil with it.
The governor, who enumerated the several projects executed by his administration in Ahoada- West, urged them to vote massively for the PDP governorship, National and State Houses of Assembly candidates.
Rivers State governorship candidate of the PDP, Siminialayi Fubara, expressed appreciation to the Ekpeye people for their large turnout and noted that it confirms their love for governor Wike and are ready to work for him.
Fubara stated that since they trust Governor Wike, not only because he is their in-law, but as a trusted leader who has executed several development projects in the area, they should also trust who he is supporting to be the governor of the state after him.
He promised that his administration when elected would continue to execute development projects in the area and develop the capacity of the youths, while working with Ekpeye traditional and political leaders to sustain the peace.
