On Tuesday, Wike spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Mgbuodohia Road in Rumuolumene, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area.

He stated that for Obasanjo to choose Obi over the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who served him as Vice President for eight years, every PDP supporter should be concerned.

“I meant no harm,” Wike stated. I’m only concerned since I’m a major PDP member. Any man who loves PDP should be concerned.
“I wasn’t making fun of anyone. I was only concerned. My wish was for Obasanjo to remain silent and not say anything. That was the entirety of my prayer, yet it was in vain.

“My prayer was that if this man makes any speech, it will convict us because he was President under the Peoples Democratic Party for eight years, and he worked with our presidential candidate.

“And the pitch of our presidential council is that our presidential candidate did extremely well, with expertise, during the eight years.”

When chastised for his role in the development, the governor asked, “What did I do?
Nothing was done by me.
“All I did was express my worry.
If you care about this party, you should investigate what is fundamentally wrong.

“You’re abusing me for informing the party that we should do something because I’m concerned that we should do something.

“They are not bothered, but those of us who since 1998 joined this party, contributed for the survival of this party until now, we keep shouting always when we sense danger coming.

“Abuses upon abuses, it will not change anything, rather it will spoil more things.
What you don’t know, ask people for aid, and they will help you solve the problem.
“Nobody can drive us (Integrity Group) from this house (PDP) we have built. All of us will fight here.

“So, if anybody thinks that you can just sit in your house and dish out orders, it will not work. The house will collapse on you. So, you better think twice.”

Wike also wrote off the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state, saying its soul and strengh have departed, leaving the carcass and therefore, cannot get any electoral support from Rivers electorate.

Specifically, Governor Wike pointed to the level of support that Chief Anele Orobule, a die-hard believer in the former governor, Chibuike Amaechi, gave to the APC but was disgraced because of failed promises.

He urged the people of Rivers State to be wary of the APC governorship candidate, Tonye Cole, alleging he is being fronted by Amaechi because they do not mean well for the state.

The governor urged the Rivers State PDP governorship candidate, Sir Siminalayi Fubara to consider constructing a bridge to link Rumuolumeni to Eagle Island in Port Harcourt, when he eventually assumes office.
