Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has stated that 2023 general election will be used to retire many politicians, and urged them to return home and do their campaigns.

Governor Wike stated this on Thursday at the inauguration of the Rumuokwurusi-Elimgbu Flyover (10th flyover) in Rumuokwurusi Town, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area.

The governor said the State government is not opposed to any political party or group holding political rallies.

He reiterated that any party or group planning to use government owned schools should be ready to pay the non- refundable security fee.

He urged those politicians to stop telling lies and be bold to let their people know what they have capacity to do and cannot do.

“Let me also use the opportunity to advise those of them who said that they are our brothers in Abuja. This 2023 election will confirm to us in Rivers State who are those that have influence on voters.” – Wike noted

Governor Wike added that;

“Who are those that their people will listen to and vote. It is not only for you to be in Abuja and tell them whatever you’re telling them. Come home because our polling booths are not going to be in Abuja.”

He further stressed that;

“This election will retire people in 2023. If they win us, we go. If we win them, they go. In fact, they have already gone.”

Governor Wike also said his administration has established a new political concept that will deepen understanding on how to endear the electorate and secure their votes.

He explained that the PDP in Rivers State will not engage in vote buying, but will depend on the numerous projects executed in all the twenty three Local Government Areas, consistent payment of pension and gratuity by his administration to win the 2023 general election.
