PDP Presidential aspirant and Rivers governor Nyesom Wike has said that he would replicate Rivers’ socio-economic growth and infrastructural development at the centre, if elected President in 2023.
Wike said this on Saturday in Jos when he addressed delegates expected to decide the fate of
Peoples Democratic Party aspirants ahead of the 2023 general elections. The governor said the monumental development he brought to Rivers was visible for everyone to see.
“The reason I am here is to let you know that I have offered myself to run for the office of the President of Nigeria on the platform of the PDP.
“I have remained in this party since 1998 and I have not gone anywhere. I know PDP more than anyone today.

“You know those who have capacity; see what I have done in Rivers. I will replicate that in Nigeria and do even more,” he said.
The governor told the delegates that if elected President of Nigeria, he would address the security challenges bedeviling the country.

He commended the Plateau PDP for winning Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency by-election held in February, describing the victory as a sign of what will happen in 2023.
“By God’s power, PDP will take over Government House, Jos, but we must make sacrifices and work as team to reclaim power,” he advised.
