Take Me To Any Party, I will Perform - Wike

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has said that if he was taken to any party, he would still perform while noting that one's political party should not determine efficiency in leadership.

Wike made the remark today (Tuesday) in Port Harcourt while commissioning his project, the dualised Ogbunuabali-Eastern Bypass Road alongside an All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain, Senator Aliyu Wamakko. 

According to him, there is a difference between a party and an individual. 

“Leadership is not about party, leadership is about individual. 

"Party is only a vehicle to actualise your ambition, to be able to tell your people I have this capacity, I have this quality to render services to you. 

"If you take me away today from PDP to another party, I will still perform. 

"So, it is not because I’m in PDP that I’m performing.

“It is because I have that passion for my people. 

"It is because I have the commitment to serve my people. 

"Take me to YPP, allow to become whatever I will become there, I will perform. 

"Take me to any party, I will perform. 

"So, it is not party that makes you to perform,” he stated. 

He added that his passion to serve the people of Rivers State has always distinguished him among other politicians.

He further disclosed that it was the reason that kept him firm on infrastructural development of the state.

Governor Wike stated that while his counterparts elsewhere had used the economic hardship not to work for their people, he has found his way to give people dividends of democracy.

In his remark during the commissioning of the project, the former governor of Sokoto state and APC chieftain, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko commended governor Wike adding that he has demonstrated the capacity to serve the people of Rivers State.

According to him, Wike is a "Talk and do" governor who puts the people first.
