Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has again threatened to work against the People’s Democratic Party and its candidate as he on Monday declared that anybody who despises the political capability of the state will be treated accordingly.
Wike stated this at the inauguration of the Orochiri-Worukwo (Waterlines junction) Flyover by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in Port Harcourt.
The Governor, who has been having running battle with the leadership of the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, explained that the dynamics of contemporary politics had made it unpopular to just gift votes away without the assurance of derivable benefit for the people.
“If you say Rivers State does not matter, Rivers State will tell you that you don’t also matter at the appropriate time. If you don’t like us, we will not like you. If you like us, we will like you.
“Nobody will use our votes for nothing. Our votes will matter and Rivers State must benefit from anybody that we are going to support. Politics now is no longer just vote for somebody, it is about what you will do for the people of Rivers State,” he said.
Wike said it would be difficult for any conspirators to upset the voting pattern of the state and support for the PDP.
