Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in a subtle support of the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25 general election, said he favoured powers shift to the southern region of the country.

Wike made this revelation at a campaign rally on Saturday, February 18, in Obio/Akpor local government.

The PDP governor who reaffirmed his stance on power shift to the south, directed his supporters not to give their mandate to the presidential candidate that has no interest in Rivers State.

“Anybody that has no interest in our state, we will not vote for. So you don’t need anybody to tell you who to vote.”

He maintained, “We’re going to vote for the unity of Nigeria. We’re going to vote for fairness, equity and justice. That is why I salute all APC governors who came to say, for this country to be united, to move together, that there is a need for power to shift. That we are not greedy.

“They know Nigeria is such a country that requires unity. Those who are greedy for power don’t realise that you can get power and may not have peace. Is it not better to have peace so that when you have the power you can govern the people well.”

He, therefore, described Rivers PDP guber candidate, Siminaliayi Fubara as a trustworthy fellow, “He (Fubara) is a very humble person, very committed person and will don’t disappoint the people of Rivers.

“He is not the talking type, but the working type. I could not have achieved so much and then support somebody who will do better than me. He was the Accountant General of the state and has followed all our workings in this state.

“And we needed somebody who will continue where we stopped and consolidate on our gains. That is why we refused to bring in those buccaneers who are looking for what to grab. We want the state to continue on the path of development, progress.”

Wike, however, cautioned PDP candidates vying for legislative posts against betrayal, “I want to sound it clear if any of the national assembly candidates misbehave when they get to Abuja, we will teach them a lesson as we are teaching some of them serving now.

“Let me sound it clear to them. If you follow these betrayers, we will place a curse on you, so you suffer the way they’re suffering.”
