The wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has
restated her endorsement for the governorship candidate of the Peoples

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.

Arsene Wenger hints that Arsenal won’t sign anybody in January transfer window.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hinted that he won’t be making any signings during the January transfer window.
Wenger had previously suggested he’d been on the lookout for one or two new players when the window re-opens in the new year, but when quizzed today, he back-tracked.
The Frenchman says that once all his injured stars come back to full fitness, he has a full squad with no need to delve further into the window.
‘If everybody is fit then we don’t need to go into the transfer market,’ he said.

The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has picked the governorship
ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in absentia as he was
still in Lagos for the party’s National Convention which ended on
Thursday evening.
Okorocha’s emergence as the party’s governorship flag bearer in the state came barely few hours after coming fourth in the just concluded APC presidential primary elections at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
During the Owerri event, which took place at the Imo International Conference Centre, the Commissioner for Lands and Urban Planning, Uche Nwosu, who was secretly adopted as the APC governorship candidate by the party’s delegates, announced his withdrawal from the race.
Speaking before the ratification of the Governor’s candidature, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Mr. John Alamba, said that the party had the power to substitute any candidate that withdraws from the race.
Nwosu, in his brief speech said that his withdrawal from the race was based on personal and family reasons, adding that the interest of the party supersedes his personal ambition.
He enjoined the party members to give same support and solidarity to the new candidate, Governor Okorocha.
Apart from the delegates, also present at the event were all the state executive of the Imo State All Progressives Congress, except the Chairman who was still in Lagos, members of the Okorocha’s cabinet and other state appointees.
