The wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has
restated her endorsement for the governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
The First
Lady, who spoke at the burial ceremony of Senator Tari Sekibo in Okrika
on Saturday, expressed her confidence that Wike would be the next
governor of the state.
It was her second public endorsement of Wike.
Jonathan,
while addressing Okirika Council of Chiefs at the event, said, “Before
you today is the next governor of Rivers State. He is the former
Minister of State for Education, Barrister Nyesom Wike.
“The PDP is the best party and the most popular party in the country. The PDP is the leading party that will win Rivers State.”
The
First Lady said she would continue to stand by those committed to the
inclusive development of the people of the state and not leaders who
insist on emasculating other groups through policies that will displace
them.
She pointed out that such leaders would also not be allowed
to produce their successor in the state, adding that their anointed
successor had been briefed to continue with similar divisive policies.
On
the virtues of late Sekibo, Jonathan said the former lawmaker believed
in development and was committed to making sacrifices for the growth of
the nation.
