NEWSWike speaks on governors’ meeting with Buhari, Obi’s candidaturePublished on October 31, 2018 By Wale Odunsi

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that there is no iota of doubt that the APC-led Federal Government has failed Nigerians, necessitating the need for a new leadership in 2019.


Wike further stated that the visit of four South-South Governors to President Muhammadu Buhari had no political connotation, noting that the governors were in the Presidential Villa to discuss the development of the Niger Delta.

He spoke in an interview with Channels Television Roap 2019.


He noted: “Our meeting with the President had nothing to do with politics. It was strictly for the benefit of the South-South.

“There is no personal problem between the President and myself. He came to Port Harcourt to commission a project that would add value and I had to be there.

“But when it comes to politics, I say no, the party of the President has performed poorly. It has failed Nigerians. The APC is not doing well. But when it comes to governance, you give the President that respect. ”


Commenting on the zoning of the PDP Vice Presidential Candidate to the South-East and eventual nomination of Former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi, Governor Wike stated that contrary to political insinuations, he played no role in the emergence of Peter Obi.

Governor Wike stated: “I never nominated Peter Obi. But the mere fact that the Vice Presidential Candidate is coming from the South-East does not give the zone the sole right to nominate a person , since the entire country will benefit.

“When the South-East said they were not consulted before Peter Obi was nominated, where did we meet as a party to agree that the Vice Presidential Candidate must come from the South-East. But we said if the Presidential Candidate believes he has somebody to work with, we said so be it”.

He said the fact that the Vice Presidential Candidate should come from the South-East, does not foreclose the inputs of the other five geo-political zones

It always baffles me when

"You did not vote Buhari in 2015.

You did not vote at all in 2015.

You are still not yet ed to vote in 2019.

Your anger to oust Buhari is one expressed in futility.

You cannot withdraw the benefits you never gave someone in the first place.

One of the most misplaced emotions in Nigeria is ANGER. And those with the least capacity to effect a threat, issue it the most"

Wike will be hated badly for this

How......??

I don't understand.

Wike porting very soon

Please quote me anytime soon

How......??

Due to acute hatred for Mr President

.

Confused man, the party failed but the president is a master in governance....

Wike is being diplomatic here, I don’t get how this 30k a month guys can’t comprehend

But when it comes to politics, I say no, the party of the President has performed poorly. It has failed Nigerians. The APC is not doing well. But when it comes to governance, you give the President that respect

lolz Bro



if you don't see Wike's sarcasm in this then you're in dire need of holy water


Truly he's earned the name WICKED WIKE

those with concience would deffinately attest to this fact..
buhari was not perfect but atiku should be nowhere close to the helm of leadership..
atleast not with the method he used to clinch party ticket..

Abeg the guy need am oo...


poor am "holly water"

Comprehension issues.
Wike simply meant he will give Buhari the respect a president deserves.

This is the true definition of bleating from every corner of one's mouth.

Most Nigerian journalists are even unbelievable. They are no different from the many bloggerizers and mods on here and they'd tell you they are graduates.

thats not even half the soldiers that bokoharam killed during pdp years of looting through dasuki fake arm purchase..

what do you want woke to say before


get your btc @ #350

Apc and propaganda are one and same..

Kai! Sarrki and co! Go to school, I won't went! Na wetin dey worry una? So because Wike says clearly that the APC has failed woefully but that he respects the office of the president, it is now news that u so unintelligently try to twist?

Wike is not as uncouth and ill-mannered as APC ethnic n religious bigots and bottom-feeding scum that couldn't respect the office of the president because it was Goodluck Jonathan that occupied that seat.

What Wike said is that APC and Buhari have failed but he will respect Buhari because of the office he occupies unlike during Gej era when the opposition insulted Jonathan and denigrated the office of the president because of politics.
if you like,twist it as much as you want,those with brain will understand.

sarrki:
Wike porting very soon

Please quote me anytime soon

You're daft read his comment again


Wike also reiterated that the APC-led Federal Government has failed Nigerians, necessitating the need for a new federal government in 2019.
