The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has called for calm among the membership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.
Wike who spoke on the crisis in the PDP said that even though nothing has happened now, things would happen soon.
βAll of us should be calm concerning what is happening in PDP. In fact, nothing has happened yet. But by the grace of God, something will happen.”
Speaking at the unveiling of the construction of internal roads at Rumuesara, Eneka town in Obio/Akpor local government area of Rivers State on Monday, Wike vowed to release.the identities of those that did not mean well for the Country, especially within the PDP fold.
Describing these sets of people as wolves in sheep skin, Wike promised that at the right time their identities would be made public.
He said these people are traversing length and breadth of the Country with fake campaign promises, adding that at the right time people would know the truth.
He disclosed that happenings in PDP would soon take over the cyberspace, thereby, calling on the members to exercise patience.
He added that he was in a better position to reveal the identities of each contestants to enable electorate vote wisely in 2023.
Wike said: βSome other people are busy, putting themselves together on how they will take over leadership in Nigeria to loot the remaining ones this other people have already kept.
βIβm privileged to know and at the appropriate time Iβll tell you who these people are. You need to know what is happening in Nigeria. Forget about all these people running around saying they want to rescue or save you (Nigeria). Just watch to see what is going to happen next.
βAll of us should be calm concerning what is happening in PDP. In fact, nothing has happened yet. But by the grace of God, something will happen.β
He said despite negative media comments, his administration had not relented in offering good governance to strengthen its relationship with the people of Rivers State.
He said: βLook at us concentrating in giving our people good governance. What is good governance? Good governance is making the people to be happy. Good governance is providing infrastructure for the people.
βGood governance is not about party. Providing good governance is about leadership. We are here everyday flagging off projects, commissioning projects even though our tenure is coming to an end.β
Wike said it would be difficult for seasonal politicians, who had never done anything to better the lot of Rivers electorate to come to them and solicit their votes.
βNow that I have come to Eneka to provide this basic infrastructure, I can come back to Eneka and ask you to follow me, let us go there or let us stay here. Do they have what it takes to come and talk to you? Can they come and talk to you?
βIt is somebody that hears from you that you also hear from. This one youβve not provided anything for my people, youβve not asked them what they want, then you want to tell them where to vote.
βSo, it is us that will come and meet you and say see where youβll vote. And I know based on our relationship, since we have not deceived you, we have not told you lies, you will follow us at the appropriate time.β
