The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says he is ready to lay down his life if it will ensure victory for the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general elections.

Wike said this in the latest issue of ‘The Interview,’ a monthly magazine.

The governor said one of the reasons the then President, Goodluck Jonathan, lost the presidential election was that he was surrounded by insincere people, especially ministers.

He, however, said Rivers State fought tooth and nail to ensure victory for the PDP in 2015 and 2019 would not be any different.

Wike said, “The whole thing boils down to sincerity and commitment and sincerity. We said if things would not happen, all of us would go down with it. That was the driving spirit for us and that is what we are going to repeat in 2019.

“If the Federal Government is going to kill all of us, so be it. Because we know what they have planned and their strategies and so when it is time, we will face the APC squarely in this state. Just watch.”

The governor described Jonathan as a gentleman who condoned too many things.

Wike said for instance, when Jonathan went to campaign in the North, he was stoned in a number of states but did nothing.

The governor said if he were the President, things would have been different.

He added, “God gave every leader his strength and way of doing things. You see, I will not accept that. Let the heavens fall. If Nigeria was going to end on that day, let it end. I will not take what he took. That is why I respect the man a lot. I will not take that.

“If Nigeria will come down that day, let it come down. I mean, what is it? He was President and you were throwing stones at him? No single respect for that office? And you tell me to accept it? No, I will clamp down on you.”

Wike said the fact that those who stoned Jonathan were neither arrested nor prosecuted, showed that some northern elements, including the ones in the PDP, sabotaged Jonathan’s campaign.

He wondered why a northern state which was ruled by a PDP governor would allow such a thing to happen.

The governor also said he supported what a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, did at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission when he attempted to stop the Chairman of the commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, from announcing the results of the 2015 presidential election.

Wike said Orubebe’s actions were justified since the elections were rigged.

When asked if he supported what Orubebe, he said, “I did. Of course, why not? You saw clear rigging. I don’t like a system where you see something is going wrong and you keep quiet.”

The governor, who is heading the PDP’s reconciliation committee, said his committee would do everything to attract as many political heavyweights into the party.

any Nigerian politician saying he is ready to die is a liar, with all the wealth they have amassed, they are never ready to die for anything not even for their wife or children. abeg make we hear word. Who does he want to die for? for amaechi or for PMB? even GEJ was never ready to die not even for his dear patience. Believe Politicians at your peril, they win some and loose some. It's a game

Yeah! You and your thugs are ready to die for the YAM not the poor masses.

I don`t give a fck, you can as well go and join the the once over there that you have already caused them early graves and pains in there families, so i wish you safe trip as you go to join them there in 2019.......Tout of a governor

There are some positions that are not suppose to be left with some people. Wike utterances sound like touts. We all see what happen at dakuku campaign in river state, when your boys targeted at dakuku peterside, sporadically shooting at campaign of apc in 2015 general election. Your case is like kettle calling pot black. You're same of the same all politicians. The truth is Nigerians are fed up with impunity in GEJ and they decided to change him. If Nigeria decide to change PMB, it is left for Nigeria to decide not you ranting like cockroach. Peopel shld not let this thug of a governor to mislead them. He's not ready to die, beleive him at your own peril

The same governor that said he will cut APC into pieces with machete, spilling another trash, i hope he will not debunk the news later.
