Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said votes from the state in the 2023 general election will be put where a concrete reward is guaranteed for such electoral support.

The governor also said his life was in God’s hands, saying anyone or group planning to eliminate him will die first.

Wike revealed that some of his close associates have expressed concerns over his safety, but he has told them not to be bothered because God was on his side.

He spoke at the inauguration of the Etche Campus of the Rivers State University in Abara community of Etche Local Government Area on Tuesday.

The governor said, “At the appropriate time, we will decide on what to do. I want Rivers people to reflect on this because, since 1999, we have brought the highest votes to the Peoples Democratic Party.

“I challenge any state to say they have brought more votes for the PDP. Which state has given more support than Rivers State? Since 1999, show me one federal project in Rivers State. Is there any?

 ‘’So, if you want our votes, then tell me what you will give Rivers people. Our votes are not for dash anymore.”

The 2023 presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has denied receiving $150m donation from Nigerians in the diaspora.

DAILY POST recalls that a group, Tinubu-Shettima Connect recently asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disqualify the former Anambra Governor over the alleged funding which according to them, violates the Electoral Act.

However, speaking during a meeting with Nigerians in London on Tuesday, Peter Obi who departed Nigeria on August 25, to solicit support from Nigerians in diaspora, debunked the report, describing it as a mere speculation.

According to him, the aim of his consultation was not for fund but to ensure that Nigerians in the countries he visited were taking part in the election process.

“Nobody has given me anything. That is speculation. What I need is not what they would give me. But what they would give Nigeria, because we need them to turn around Nigeria.
