Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has stated that of all the Presidential Candidates contesting to be president of Nigeria in this month election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the best character and courage to rule the country, just as he said he owed nobody an apology for endorsing Tinubu candidature.
Wike stated in Port Harcourt, the State capital, while receiving Tinubu shortly after the APC candidate’s campaign rally in the State on Wednesday, 15 February, 2023, wished Tinubu luck in his presidential ambition.
Wike also discouraged Tinubu from funding the APC governorship campaign in the State.
The Governor also told Tinubu that the APC governorship candidate in the State, Tonye Cole stood no chance against his preferred candidate, Siminaliayi Fubura of the Peoples Democratic Party( PDP).
“I have no apology to anybody to say nobody born of a woman can intimidate me. You have never changed party one day. That tells of your character and courage and that is what we require in this country.
“But let me advise you, don’t spend any more money on your governorship candidate here (Rivers)”, he told Tinubu.
