Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that he and his allies of the G5 group are never playing God as to determine who becomes the next president of Nigeria.
The governor stated this in reaction to statement, which said the next president is for Nigeria, not G5 governors.
Wike, who spoke at the flag-off of Ogbo-Ihugbodo Road in Ahoada-East local government area of the state, said those behind the statement should have known that even if God gives power, it should not be given to the wicked.
“Don’t be treacherous in life because you want power. God will never give power to the wicked. Our hands are clean we have not done anything wrong.
“All we are saying is, do things in a way all of us will have sense of belonging, that all of us will believe that we are together,” he said.
The governor explained that members of the G5 believe in the omnipotence of God and always align their various affairs to such, which is why they keep getting stronger by the day.
Governor Wike also noted that the person said that there will be division among the G5, an expectation he said had long been frustrated since May/June 2022.
“It has never worked and it will never work in Jesus name. By sitting down to say that there will be division, I send back that prayer to you,” he added.
Commenting on the project, Governor Wike said the Ogbo-Ihugbodo road is one of the many projects his administration has continued to deliver to restore Ahoada town and the surrounding communities to what it used to be when it was a divisional headquarters.
The governor emphasised that it is already established that he is creating an unbeatable record as an administration in NigBy Sunday Isuwa, Abuja
The All Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has urged Nigerians to decide for a better future for the country as they step into the new year which is also an election year.
NNPP said as Nigeria approaches the threshold of 2023, a fresh start is offered to them to enthrone genuine democracy and build a new Nigeria they all desire and deserve on the platform of the NNPP.
A statement by the national publicity secretary of the party, Dr Agbo Major, said electing good leaders this year will bring to an end the long national nightmare and consistent policies which crippled the economy and made Nigeria a laughing stock in the comity of nations.
“The tasks ahead are enormous and so are the opportunities to build a strong, virile, united, progressive, prosperous, equitable and just democratic society. Nation building is a collective responsibility of citizens and calls for prayers, unity, tolerance and shared vision.
“The new year and the upcoming general election will afford Nigerians a unique opportunity to choose patriotic, courageous, honest, versatile and God-fearing leaders who will turn around the destiny of the nation and steer the ship of the state from its perilous course.
“The general election is crucial for the survival of democracy in Nigeria. It demands citizens’ active participation in the electoral process. NNPP urges eligible Nigerians to collect their permanent voter cards, come out en masse and vote for its candidates in all elections, ensure their votes are counted and count in the overall result,” he said.
