Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will soon embark on reconciliation, after the Supreme Court judgement, but such move will be done with vigilance.
The governor further stated that the Supreme Court verdict saved Nigeria and there is the need to thank God for the sustenance of multi-party democracy.
Speaking at the Inter-denominational Special Thanksgiving Service for PDP Supreme Court victory, at the Rivers State Ecumenical Centre in Port Harcourt, yesterday, Wike said: “While we are reconciling, we must be vigilant. Nobody will take me unawares. Satan will never sleep. Satan will always find ways to cause havoc.
“Sheriff is an agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Woe betide any person who is a mole of the deadly party.”
He expressed gratitude to God for giving PDP leaders the wisdom to identify that, with the emergence of Sheriff, the party was headed for doom and had to retrace its steps.
The governor said Nigerians received the supreme court judgement with joy because the future of Nigeria rests with the PDP.
Wike also added that the ruling APC, after winning elections, have resorted to excuses and blame-game, instead of fulfilling the promises they made to Nigerians during campaign.
“Two years after the mandate, what is the situation? Excuses and blames without delivery. Look at how individuals took it upon themselves to destroy the party that gave them life.
“PDP is the only party that is a household name in Nigeria. There is no unit in the country without a member of the PDP.”
The governor noted that going forward, Rivers State must get returns on her contributions to the PDP.
“As we help you, you help us. If you don’t help us, we won’t help you. All of us must rise from our units, wards and local government areas, to mobilise people.”
The governor also canvassed total loyalty to the PDP and added that the party is supreme.
According to him, in reconstituting the State Executive Council, only very loyal and committed former commissioners will be re-appointed.
“God saved PDP because of Rivers State. We don’t have plan B. Every other state had plan B. Our enemies will be put to shame from time to time. Rivers State is the strongest PDP state,” he declared.
The thanksgiving service attracted PDP leaders from the 23 local government areas of the state.
Intercessory prayers were also rendered for Nigeria, Rivers State, governor Wike and stability of the PDP.
