EKO HOT BLOG reports that Giadom said no politician, including Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, could win elections in Gokana Local Government Area without the backing of Wike.
He made the declaration on Tuesday while speaking during Wike’s Thank You Visit to the people of Gokana Local Government Area.
According to Giadom, the people of Gokana remain loyal to Wike and President Bola Tinubu, describing the area as politically closed to any rival influence.
“I guarantee, on behalf of my brothers, that the Gokana people are for Wike and Tinubu and nobody will challenge Wike’s influence in Gokana,” he said.
“Gokana is a no go area for anybody, even Governor Fubara. For him to win anything in Gokana, he must pass through Wike.”
Former senator who represented Rivers South East, Magnus Abe, also pledged the loyalty of the Ogoni people to Wike and Tinubu.
“Wike is a leader that unites and that is why we are united. If you follow Wike, you will not go home empty handed,” Abe said.
“The Ogoni people are with you. Please tell Tinubu not to bother coming to Gokana to campaign. We are for him.”
The Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Dumle Maol, assured Wike of total support from the people of Gokana.
“Anywhere you go we will go,” he said.
Earlier, Chairman of Gokana Local Council, Confidence Deko, said the people would follow Wike’s political direction during elections.
“This local government is for you because of what you have done for us. The time for payback is near and we will do the needful,” Deko said.
Responding, Wike thanked the people for their support and unity, urging them to remain united for Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“When you are united, good things will come,” Wike said, adding that PDP and APC members in Rivers were jointly supporting Tinubu.
