Governor Nyesom Wike has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, must state clearly what the people of his state stand to get before he would support his ambition.
Newsonline reports that Wike lamented that since 1999 the state has not gotten any Federal project in all the administrations of the Peoples Democratic Party, even though the state had always given the PDP bulk votes in the South.
“Since 1999, show me one federal project in Rivers State, show me one!” Wike said.
The Rivers State governor added that he has no personal interest in his decision.
The Governor was speaking on Tuesday at the commissioning of the Etche campus of the Rivers State University in Etche local government area of the state.
He said “I want Rivers people to always reflect on this, since 1999 we got the highest vote for the Peoples Democratic Party.

“I challenge any state to say they brought more votes than Rivers state.
“In terms of support for the PDP which state has given more support than the PDP?
“If you want our votes tell me what you will give to River State.
“Enough of using Rivers State and thinking that we don’t have anything to do with our money. Thinking when they bring the votes you will push them away.
“I’m only interested in my state, nobody can buy me, I’m not going to look for a position at the federal level.
“If you don’t tell me what the state will get, then forget it.”
