A group of Rivers State indigenes from the 17 communities of the Oyigbo constituency under the aegis of “Oyigbo G17” has called upon the Rivers State Governor, Barrister Nyesom Wike to step out to save Nigeria by contesting the position of President in the 2023 general elections
Convener and main driving force of the G17, honorable Promise Nwankwo said this after the maiden meeting of the group on Saturday in Portharcourt.
Honorable Nwankwo who is the member representing Oyigbo constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly said the G17 cuts across the seventeen autonomous communities making the Oyigbo constituency.
He described the state governor, Barrister Nyesom Wike as a man with character and candor. One with the required strength, wisdom, connections and requisite knowledge to build the Nigerian state of our dreams.
According to him, ” while yet a governor, Barrister Wike towered high above peers, and initiated the processes of nation building reforms in our federation through his well reported legal proceedures”.
He further said, ” if elected, Nyesom Wike would bring about justice, equity and truth to the federalism Nigeria claim to be practicing now”.
Our conviction as citizens is borne out of the way Barrister Wike has governed Rivers State with a sense of sterling dedication to equity, transparency and all round development of the state”.
“What endeared us and indeed a wide array of Nigerians to his Excellency is the stand out pragmatic style of Barrister Wike that is mostly carried into the discharge of his duties in ways that leaves everyone wondering why we don’t have his likes leading us at the national level “.
Honorable Nwankwo used the occasion to also call on the leadership of the People’s Democratic party (PDP) to look towards this great asset of the party from Rivers State as the presidential flag bearer for the party in 2023.
He extended his call to other Nigerians to “add their voices to make the glorious coming of Barrister Nyesom Wike as Nigerian president a reality in 2023.
Nigerians cannot afford to get it wrong this time. Nyesom Wike is the man”.
