Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has claimed that some politicians in the race for votes to win the 2023 presidential election do not mean well for the country but are out to milk the country.
The governor stressed that he is in a very privileged position to know better, and would tell Nigerians who they are at the appropriate time so that Nigerians can use their votes to reject them.
Governor Wike made this known while speaking at the flag-off of internal roads that was held on Monday at Rumuesara, Eneka town, in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He said: ‘Some other people are busy, putting themselves together on how they will take over leadership in Nigeria to loot the remaining ones these other people have already kept.
‘I’m privileged to know and at the appropriate time, I’ll tell you who these people are. You need to know what is happening in Nigeria. Forget about all these people running around saying they want to rescue or save you (Nigeria). Just watch to see what is going to happen next.
‘All of us should be calm concerning what is happening in PDP. In fact, nothing has happened yet. But, by the grace of God, something will happen.’
Governor Wike pointed out that while his administration continues to flag off and inaugurate projects for the Rivers people, detractors keep sponsoring negative media campaigns against him.
The governor stated that despite such negative media comments, his administration has not relented in offering good governance to strengthen the relationship with the people of Rivers State.
‘Look at us concentrating on giving our people good governance. What is good governance? Good governance is making the people be happy. Good governance is providing infrastructure for the people. Good governance is not about party. Providing good governance is about leadership. We are here every day flagging off projects, commissioning projects even though our tenure is coming to an end.’
Governor Wike noted how difficult it would be for seasonal politicians who have never done anything to better the lot of Rivers electorate to come to them and solicit their votes.
‘Now that I have come to Eneka to provide this basic infrastructure, I can come back to Eneka and ask you to follow me, let us go there or let us stay here. Do they have what it takes to come and talk to you? Can they come and talk to you?
‘It is somebody that hears from you that you have also heard from. This one you’ve not provided anything for my people, you’ve not asked them what they want, then you want to tell them where to vote.
‘So, it is us that will come and meet you and say see where you’ll vote. And I know based on our relationship, since we have not deceived you, we have not told you lies, you will follow us at the appropriate time.’
Speaking further, Governor Wike said Eneka fills a strategic place in his educational and political success story, which was why he could not abandon its people.
According to him, he schooled at the Government Secondary School Eneka and had his council chairmanship sponsored by Senator John Azuta-Mbata, who hails from the town.
Governor Wike promised that his administration will soon commence reconstruction work at the secondary school in a bid to transform it into a modern standard learning facility.
