Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has dared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, saying that nobody can break the ranks of the five PDP governors.
Wike, while stating that the five governors are bonded to save Nigeria, insisted that Dr. Iyorchia Ayu should resign as the national chairman of the party.
The Rivers State governor stated this while speaking at the new Banquet Hall of Benue State Government House, Makurdi, during a dinner on Sunday night organised in honour of the G5 by Ortom.
The PDP G5 governors include Nyesome Wike, Samuel Ortom of Benue, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu.
Rivers State governor noted that because the G5 remained dogged in their demand, people have made several efforts to break their ranks but cannot succeed.
According to him, “and if you look at us here, the way we are, people have tried to see how they can break us, you cannot. We are bonded to save Nigeria.
“That is why when you see all of us, we are impenetrable. Nobody can divide us. They have tried everything in this world to divide us, but no way.
“The way we operate; I will talk, we have people who don’t talk. You may be underrating them. By the time they will shock you, you will think it is Wike, it is not Wike you are seeing,” he said.
Rivers State governor said Nigerians are expecting the PDP to rescue the country, but it appears that the leadership of the party is not showing serious commitment to that course.
He stated that inclusivity remains a precursor for peace and unity because it will allow everybody to have an equal sense of stake both in the party and to work together for the desired electoral victory.
“Agreement is agreement. Respect agreement, so that there will be peace, there will be unity. What we are asking for is inclusivity; include everybody.
“We are not talking about the presidential candidate, we have finished that one. We have a presidential candidate, we have a vice presidential candidate.
“But that one that will go to the other people, give them so that everybody will move forward. That is what we are saying, nothing more,” the governor said.
