Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that it is not the portion of Rivers people to have a sole administrator as the enemies of the state are plotting because Rivers people overwhelmingly voted for their preferred candidate on March 9.
This is as 86 political parties conceded defeat to Governor Wike over the Rivers State governorship election during a solidarity visit to the governor at the Government House, Port Harcourt yesterday.
Speaking, Governor Wike said: “No matter how delayed, Rivers State will have an elected governor. It is not the portion of Rivers State to have a sole administrator. Our people voted on March 9 and Rivers votes will count.”
He said that when the PDP is declared winner of the Rivers State governorship elections, he would operate a government of unity.
“If we are declared winner of the election, we will operate a government of unity. We will rally everybody together in the interest of the state”, he said.
The governor stated that he heard that the Minister of Transportation is threatening that blood will flow in the state. He said the blood of peace loving Rivers people would not be spilled on the account of politics. He wondered why a candidate who told the world that he won the state governorship election would turn around to call for the cancellation of the same election. The governor urged all Rivers people to remain patient and allow INEC to carry out their responsibilities of collation and declaration of the state governorship election.
