The governor, said this during the inauguration of the Orogbum Crescent Junction in GRA, Port Harcourt, by the governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu.
Wike, stated that members of GDI have supported him from the outset, and that the time has come for them to be rewarded.
According to him, GDI members across the 23 local government areas of the state, will not be taken for granted, adding that they would have a say over who becomes the next governor of the state.
“You can’t abandon those who were with you during thick and thin… when all hopes were lost. GDI must not be taken for granted and our stomach infrastructure will start with the GDI,” he said.
Governor, Wike also said that at the appropriate time they will meet to decide who flies the flag of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2023 governorship election.
He added that it is still early to start talking about who succeeds him.
