Wike Vows To Stay Loyal To Jonathan As Ex-President Showers Praises On Him

Former President Goodluck Jonathan today commended Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state for his good work.

Speaking during the commissioning of the Second Nkpogu Bridge as part of the second year anniversary of Wike’s administration, Jonathan said, “Governor Wike has performed wonderfully well.

“I have no regrets that Governor Wike is the governor of Rivers State. I am happy that the governor has opened up Rivers State through projects.

“Wike has shown so much commitment to infrastructural development. The whole of Rivers State is now a construction yard.”

In return, Governor Wike vowed never to abandon the former President.

Wike said, “We are not politicians that when anything is wrong, they sing different song. Rivers State is a different place.

“When we believe in you, we believe in you. We are different from other Niger Delta states. We can say it with all authority.

“We cannot come out in the public and begin to castigate our own. Those of them who do that, should have a rethink. For us, it doesn’t matter the blackmail against Jonathan, we will continue to back him.”
