“Mr President, having emerged, is not the President of APC. He is the President of Nigeria. Of course, while he is governing Nigeria, he must also take care of the interests of his political party, no one can argue that. It is natural. But when it comes to governance, Nigerians must benefit.
“The interest of Rivers state is key. What will benefit our state is what we must always project. I am not a member of the APC but I believe that the support for Asiwaju was necessary. Looking at all the candidates from the south, I knew that nobody could defeat Asiwaju. Capacity, political will to take actions, he has it.
“Most of you worked for Asiwaju. Those who didn’t work for Asiwaju we know. It was not hidden. It was clear.”
In his remarks, the National vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress, South-South, Victor Giadom, praised Wike for his decision to support the president and asked him to carry the Rivers APC along.
He said the visit was to congratulate Wike on his appointment and pledge the party support for him.
