The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has stated that the votes of residents in Rivers, Kano and Lagos is crucial to the ambition of any presidential candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, this reinforces the importance of Rivers State in the political scheme of the country, which nobody would be allowed to undermine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wike made this assertion at the grand finale of the\u00a0Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)<\/a>\u00a0Local Government Election Campaign that was held at Ulakwo in Etche LGA on Thursday, April 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI keep telling the PDP that no state has given more votes to the party than Rivers. And it is only in Rivers, in the whole of the South-South that the All Progressives Congress (APC) didn\u2019t get 25 per cent votes in the 2019 general elections. We taught them a lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Nigeria, nobody wins presidency if you didn\u2019t win either Rivers and Lagos or Kano and Lagos together. Rivers is not a state anybody can joke with. Some states went to negotiate with them. Rivers didn\u2019t do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

With the moves made by the All Progressive Congress (APC) National Leader, Bola Tinubu, in the North over his rumoured presidential ambition, it remains to be seen whether he will enjoy such acceptance in the South-East and South-South region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
