EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has been charged by the lawmaker representing Akwa Ibom North West senatorial district, Chris Ekpenyong to work for the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2023.
Ekpenyong, in his appeal to Governor Wike and his supporters, described him as a loyal party member who stayed on even when others gave up.
The former Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom called on other aggrieved members of the party to work with PDP in 2023 in its plan to rescue Nigeria.
He added that the Rivers State Governor who is known for his achievements would be the next president of Nigeria after Atiku Abubakar.
Ekpenyong said, “I am calling on all party faithful, leaders and stakeholders to continue to be steadfast and committed to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians, which is for the PDP to rescue our dear country from this near collapsed state come 2023.
And this vision should be the utmost desire of the PDP at this point. All party faithful should put away all grievances or disappointments at the last convention and ensure the party emerges victorious in next year’s election.
“This call is due to some utterances by some leaders, who were disappointed with the outcome of the last convention, especially the selection of the vice presidential candidate. I am appealing to them to sheath their swords and be rest assured that a victory for PDP is a victory for all Nigerians.
“The goal should not be who occupies what, but how the party will emerge victorious because when we get there, we will all realise that the umbrella is big enough to accommodate all and all interests.
“Governor Wike is one of those who have sacrificed immensely for the sustenance of the party, even when others gave up. I want to specially call on the performing Governor Wike, a loyal party man, a great party supporter and a brand ambassador of what the PDP government represents to continue to show solidarity to the affairs of the party.
“He has been in the party since he commenced his political career. He has carved a niche for himself on the political scene as not just a performer but also a strong voice of the PDP. Posterity will never forget him.
