Mr. Nyesom Wike, former Minister of State for Education
Former Minister of State for Education and winner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket in Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike, has urged other aspirants in the Monday primary election to come together to deliver the state to the party at the next election.
Wike, in his acceptance speech after he was declared winner of the primary, said he was prepared to put aside the attacks on his person in the build-up to the party’s victory in 2015.
“In the course of this contest, a number of people, politicians, elders and opinion moulders amongst others poured some vituperations upon our persons. We consider these comments, criticisms and attacks on us as friendly tackles in the field of play.
“I hereby declare that I have forgiven them all. In the same vein, I apologise to all those we may have offended directly or indirectly through our comments, speeches and actions in the course of this struggle as we believe that in the process of a complicated surgery, as politics, nerves, arteries and veins may be affected by the surgical knife.
“However, the recovery and the healing process in the end save lives. In the name of God, please forgive as we have forgiven all those who may have offended us,” he pleaded.
According to him, such reconciliation must be genuine. “We seek to bring back everyone to the sheep fold and rebuild our once strong, virile, united political family. It is going to be a challenging assignment.
“But we have confidence in the ability of our people to discharge this onerous responsibility of true political reconciliation. It is the basis of our march to victory.”
