The Rivers State Governor has threatened to
help the Peoples Democratic Party lose the 2023 presidential election.
The governor issued the threat at the
commissioning of the internal road in Omerelu community in Ikwerre local
government area of Rivers on Thursday.
The governor who was responding to recent
comments by the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu said the chairman is
exhibiting arrogance.
He said “Doctor Ayu said we are children.
Yes, the children brought you from the gutter to make you chairman.
“Now we have seen that you don’t want the
party to win election, we will help you.
“These children you said we are, that
brought you from nothing.
“Ayu, you said you founded this party, but
you left the party in 2007. You founded a company, you left the company, people
stood and brought out the company to what it is today, you have no moral right
to still come and claim that you founded that company, you left with your
shares.
“You want to show integrity, you want to
show a party to Nigeria that we want to take over, you must convince Nigerians
that we have the integrity.
“You are the driver that will drive the
vehicle to convey us to go our destination. That is the victory we are looking
for.
“If the driver has no integrity and cannot
show honesty, how do you convince Nigerians?
“If you tell Nigerians something and cannot
do it, is it when you enter into power that you will do it?
“Nigerians have seen how ungrateful some of
you can be, and that’s why Nigerians also want to be careful, if we give these
people power, are you sure they will also be grateful to Nigerians”.
