“Our campaign focus will be like this, that we made promises to the State to do roads and other projects, ask us, have we done them? Yes, we have.
“We will ask them (other parties), what have you done for Rivers State? Certainly nothing. So, who tells you that any other party can come and win this State? Let no one deceive you about that.”
Wike said that after the presidential primary, PDP leaders in Rivers would set up a team that wouldwork to ensure that the party wins the 2023 gubernatorial election..

“It is not victory for Fubara. It is victory for the party. It is not just victory for the party, but victory to moving the state forward.
“The purpose of this special event this night is also to consolidate on the achievements, on every side, of this present administration.
“We are going to work together to sustain the work that this administration has already done for us.”
