The former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has received the support of the entire Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The party provided the support while denouncing some influential politicians who are accused of paying them to disparage Wike’s appointment.

The PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is leading discussions on how to deal with “a patriot and prominent nationalist whose interest it is to protect the unity and stability of our dear country,” according to a statement from the party by former Rivers PDP Campaign Organization spokesman, Ogbonna Nwuke.

They said the decision by President Bola Tinubu to nominate men and women with proven track records, including Wike, to serve the nation, “is being hailed by progressive-minded Nigerians as a masterstroke in ongoing efforts to reclaim their country.”

The statement noted that only people who do not wish the country well are the ones not in support of the move by the President.

“The gang of confusionists in the PDP who for selfish reasons want a war with Wike, the Nigerian people, and the Tinubu government.

“No amount of blackmail, intimidation, acts of reactionary provocations and threats will therefore deter the former Governor of Rivers State, Barrister Nyesom Wike from responding to a call to service at a time of national emergency.”

Vowing to stand by Wike, the Rivers PDP warned: “We wish to remind the PDP of the danger in taking precipitate steps that may indeed mark the beginning of the end of a party that we have all labored to build.”
