Rivers state governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will not give its presidential ticket to any candidate who will not serve the interest of Nigerians.
Wike made this known at a grand reception organised in his honour by the people of Kalabari ethnic nationality at Abalama in Asari Toru Local Government Area on Saturday.
The governor said some desperate politicians are already scheming for a candidate who will not serve the interest of the many, rather the interest of just those of the wealthy few.
According to him, stakeholders in Southern Nigeria will soon make a declarative statement concerning 2023 presidential election.
“No amount of gang up can make PDP to give somebody who will want to run election for the interest of some big men, and not for all Nigerians,” he said.
“Anybody who wants to be candidate of PDP must be candidate for the interest of Nigerians.”
“The day the South will speak, Nigeria will shake. We believe in the unity of this country, but nobody can threaten us. Nobody should threaten us. We believe in the unity of Nigeria and unity of Nigeria must continue,” he added.
