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.
