Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said he will make sure his successor would be someone who will defend the interests of the state.
Governor Wike stated this during a birthday party organised for him by his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, at his private residence at Rumuepirikom, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State Monday night.
The governor disclosed that he had directed elders and leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State to begin the search for someone with the capacity and passion to defend the interest of the State to succeed him.
“I have dedicated this my birthday to make sure that whoever that is going to succeed me will be for the interest of the Rivers people, will be for the interest of the development of Nigeria.”
Governor Wike, who narrated how he was hoodwinked to attend the birthday party that was secretly organised by his wife at his sports complex, thanked God for granting him a fruitful and eventful life.
