Wike Denies Promising Any National Ethnicity The Position Of Governor
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has debunked the rumor that he allegedly has promised a particular ethnic group the position of Governor of the state.
Wike stressed that such power belongs to God adding that, he has no such capacity.
The Governor disclosed this during a Solidarity Visit by the Ogoni Ethnic Nationality at the Government House Port Harcourt on Monday.
He said “Let nobody say that I have met with Ogoni Ethnic Nationality and I promised them Governor. I didn’t promise because I cannot give.
“It is only God that will give the position of Governor. With proper arrangement, things can be done. Don’t say I made a promise, don’t rely on anyone, just work hard. As Nyesom Wike, I can only support, but cannot make anyone Governor.”
Wike also added “Take me as an example. Someone sat here and said over his dead body would I be Governor. Am I not Governor today? I am heading towards eight years.
“Nobody should threaten you that you cannot be Governor. Don’t take the position of God. Don’t allow anyone to take the glory of God.”

Speaking further, Governor Wike stated that Senator Magnus Abe would have become the Governor of the state if he listened to his advice and left the then government of Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi with him.
He noted that with the elections over, it is time for governance. He thanked the people of Ogoni Ethnic Nationality for supporting him to win the election.
He urged the people of Ogoni Ethnic Nationality to be united and work together in order to achieve set goals, as well as build bridges across various ethnic nationalities to succeed politically.
