▪commends Governor Wike for Projects Delivery
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has declared that the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) will become solid after the successfully
conclusion of the December 9 National Convention.
Addressing journalists after a visit to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike at the Government House Port Harcourt on Sunday, Former
President Goodluck Jonathan said that an elected National Working
Committee will set in motion the preparation for the 2019 General
Elections.
He said: “God willing, we will go through the National Convention and the
party will become solid.
“You know we have a Caretaker Committee. When you have a Caretaker
Committee, you are not as strong as a fully elected chairman. The party
passed through some challenges. Luckily for us, we have passed through
that phase with the pronouncement of the Supreme Court “.
“We want to formally elect the officials of the party that will lead the
party to the 2019 elections. I am very hopeful that on the 9th of
December we will elect our leaders “.
Commenting on the performance of Governor Wike, the Former President
described him as one of Nigeria’s best in terms of projects delivery and
policies.
He said: “He is one of the best governors in terms of commitment, in terms
of putting structures on ground, in terms of coming up with creative
policies.
“He met certain structures, he has improved on them and he has built new
roads and infrastructure. I was even asked to come and commission one of
the roads. That is why people call him Mr Projects. He has been accepted
by Nigerians as a performing governor “.
The Former President thanked Governor Wike and the Rivers State Executive
Council for attending the funeral of his brother-in-law at Okrika.
