“If elections were held 100 times in Rivers state, I will still win” – Governor Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has says there is no polling booth in the state he doesn’t know or knows somebody, and as such, he would continue to win elections in the state.

Wike said he is responsible for the emergence of his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, as governor, going on to describe himself as the engine room of the former governor.

Speaking with journalists at the Government House, Port Harcourt, on Saturday, June 20, Wike, said he was teaching those in Amaechi’s camp the way to play the game of politics.

He said: “The fact is that I was prepared for that election. I was a council chairman. There is nowhere in this state that I do not know. There is no ward I do not know one person.”

“As I sit down here, I can mention one, person from each ward. I know the politicians in this state. I know who has strength and who does not have strength.”

Furthermore, Wike said during the course of the campaigns he remained strong, stating that: “I never emaciated one day, the truth of the matter is that if you do the election 100 times in this state, I will win.”
