Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 23 Presidential Election, Mr. Peter Obi has congratulated Governor Nyesom Wike and the the people of Rivers state for the victory they recorded at the polling.
Obi said in a statement from his media office shortly after Governor Wike was declared winner in Rivers state governorship election in Port Harcourt on Wednesday that all lovers of democracy must salute the resilience of the people of the state who stood in defence of their votes.
The former governor added that the electorate would not rallied behind Governor Wike if he had not made appreciable impact in their lives through delivery of democratic dividends.
He advised the re-elected governor to remain focused on the delivery of good governance to his people and not to get distracted by the needless bickering and provocation that greeted the election.
