Governorship Election will be recorded in history as a triumph of
democracy.
Governor Wike stated this when members of the Wike Solidarity Movement
(WSM) paid him a solidarity visit at Government House, Port Harcourt
The leadership and members of the Wike Solidarity Movement from the 23
Local Government Areas of the State had embarked on an Edo Election
Victory Rally on Tuesday, September 22, 2020.
It was also to celebrate Governor Wike for the role he played in
securing victory for Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The rally took off from the Kaduna Street Junction of the Port
Harcourt-Aba Expressway and terminated at the Government House Gate.
Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Governor, Engineer Chukwuemeka Woke
received them on behalf of Governor Wike.
He said the triumph of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in
Edo State election has also brought an end to political godfatherism in
that State.
“As Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) National Campaign
Council for Edo election, I worked with my colleagues to discharge our
duties effectively and efficiently.
“God crowned our efforts with good success and we are grateful for the
solidarity we have received since we returned from Edo State.
“I am grateful to Rivers people for their prayers, support, and other
levels of contribution.
“The outcome of the election is not only a victory for the people of Edo
State but also the South-South Region and the entire country.
“More importantly, the victory should be celebrated as a defeat of
godfatherism in the politics of Edo State,” he said.
Governor Wike urged members of WSM to obey all the health directives on
COVID-19 to remain healthy and keep the State safe.
The Director-General of Wike Solidarity Movement (WSM), Prince Sudor
Nwiyor said they embarked on the victory rally in acknowledgment of the
outcome of the Edo election.
He stated that their confidence in Governor Wike is not misplaced
because he had led the campaign to reclaim Edo State for the PDP.
Mr. Nwiyor noted that Edo people listened to Governor Wike and adopted
the Rivers model of defending their votes to secure their freedom from
godfatherism.
He declared the unalloyed support of WSM to the Governor in actualising
all his future ambitions.
