River State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Nyesom Wike was in Kaduna on Monday in continuation of his tour to meet delegates ahead of the party’s primaries. While in the state he donated N200 million to victims of banditry and violent clashes in the State.
Wike who stormed the secretariat of the party around 12.30 pm affirmed that he was optimistic that 60 out of the 78 delegates from the State would vote for him, while the rest 18 can be shared among other Asiprants.
According to him, the party needs someone like him who can take back power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and rescue the country from the mess it found itself.
While lamenting over the insecurity bedevilling the state and the hardship being experienced by the residents of Kaduna State as a result of the activities of terrorists, he announced the donation of N200milion to support the victims in the affected areas.
He assured me that the insecurity will be a thing of the past when he becomes the next president of the country.
“I am here today to say that this country needs rescue, we came here to say we must not take the sentiment to 2023 election, we came here to tell you that what PDP requires now is to get somebody who is courageous, who can withstand this party and win this election in 2023, am not here to tell you that am just a mere presidential aspirant, I want to win the election if you give me the ticket on 29 and 30th may 2022
It is no longer a story the situation our country found itself under APC, take for example with the state we are today, Kaduna state is one of the most peaceful states, people travel freely, no leader In the north will say that he does not have a house in Kaduna state, people can leave Abuja 10 in the night and come to Kaduna when I was a minister I come by road, but today what is happening, Kaduna has lost its glory and it is because of the inefficiency of those in the government.
“Every now and then, people are attacked, kidnapped, we cannot continue with that, there are all military formations in the state, yet it is still attacked, whether you are on the road, at home, you are been attacked, kidnapped, so insecurity does not know whether you are Muslim or not, hunger and poverty do not know same, one thing is to note that any person who is taking office will take an oath of office that you will protect lives and property when you cannot protect lives and property, there is no more governance.
