2023: Nigeria Will Be Lucky To Have Wike As President –Bala Mohammed

Bauchi State Governor, North East Nigeria, Bala Mohammed, says the vision of his Rivers State counterpart, South-South Nigeria, Nyesom Wike, is most needed at the national level, saying Nigeria will be lucky to have him as president.

Gatekeepers News reports that Mohammed said this during the flag-off of construction work at the site of the Rumukwurushi-Elimgbu flyover in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, on Monday.

This was contained in a statement issued by Wike’s media aide, Kelvin Ebiri.

Mohammed said though he has declared his intention to run for President in 2023, but Wike stands tall to rescue Nigeria from the maladministration of the incumbent apex government.

He expressed the need for Nigerians to consider giving Wike the opportunity to serve them at the national level.

He added that if Rivers was lucky to have Wike, Nigerians would be luckier to have a man with the vision of knowing how to harness resources in improving the quality of life of the citizenry.

“On behalf of everybody here, I want to say thank you to you (Wike) because I wish you’ll be given the opportunity to bring this type of vision to the national level where you will be able to come and contribute your quota.

“When some second term governors are busy preparing to go home, this man is even breaking new frontiers, doing new projects, and giving timelines and finances that will be able to be delivered during his tenure,” he added.

In his response, Wike said his administration owes it as a duty to Rivers people to deliver social services and quality projects that will improve their living conditions.

He explained that the Rumukwurushi-Elimgbu Flyover was the 10th flyover and a part of his administration’s promise to the people.

Wike assured it will be delivered in the next 10 months because 80 per cent of the contract sum has already been paid to the contractor, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC.
