The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has asked the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, not to forget the people of Rivers if he wins the 2023 presidential election.
Wike made this statement during the inauguration of Mgbutanwo Internal Roads, in Emohua Local Government Area of  Rivers State, on Monday.
The Governor who described Kwankwaso as a “friend and brother,” said that the presidential candidate means well for Nigeria
Wike added that himself and the G5 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), known now as the ‘Integrity Group’ will only support what is in the best interest of the party.
He said; “What we require is a man who will put Nigeria together. We of the ‘Integrity Group’ will continue to support what is right and what will help this Country.’’
“So when you win remember us, remember us in Rivers State.”
“I remember when I went to meet you in your house in Abuja to plead with you not to leave the party (PDP) because I knew you were an asset to the party. Even when they told me to leave you alone, I refused,” he added.
