Mr Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the Rivers State Governor, on Saturday said other parties especially the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to avoid wasting their money for electioneering in the State, saying that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was the only party to beat in the 2023 general elections.

 

Vanguard reported that the governor made the statement during the State Honours and Awards ceremony held at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the State capital, at the Banquet Hall.

 

“Nobody would win here; lawyer, you must make money but here don’t worry yourself,” he said during the event, urging opposition parties not to waste their resources on campaigns. 

 

The Rivers state governor specifically passed the message to APC chieftains present at the occasion, which include SAN; Governor Dave Umahim of Ebonyi State, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and his Kogi State counterpart, Yahaya Bello, who were part of the awardees.

 

““I told Kogi State Governor, David Umahi, and Abubakar Malami when they came to visit me, ‘Don’t put money here it won’t work; it is a no-go area’,” Governor Wike boasted.
