Wike Refuses to Step Down from Governorship Race
Former Minister of State for Education and Rivers state Gubernatorial aspirant, Nyesom Wike, has said he cannot be bullied into given up his governorship aspirations.
Wike, who was speaking to delegates of the People’s Democratic Party in Ahoada West Local Government Area, expressed hopes that he’ll be elected as the party’s candidate for the governorship election in 2015.
He said, “Aspirants, who are not campaigning, are taking the people and PDP delegates for granted by erroneously thinking that they will emerge through external endorsements.
“Those who are making noise are just coming, they know nothing about the feelings of the people and what they have passed through. They have not engaged in any political engagement.
“If you are popular, come and stand election. This election, nobody will dash governorship to any person. This election, I will run in the primary and win and I will run in the general election.
“Anyone who is threatening violence does not love the President (Goodluck Jonathan). However, we are on the ground and all these threats will not move us. We are with the people to lead PDP to victory.”
