Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today said no one is more qualified than him.
Wike who spoke from Port Harcourt during an online interview with Channels as monitored said based on his records as Minister as well as the governor of the oil-rich state, he has the requisite experience to govern the country.
“For somebody of my kind and record, a governor and a minister, I don’t even see anybody who will tell me that he is much more qualified than me, I don’t think that is possible,” Wike said.
“Assuming today I want to run for the office of the President, what quality do you think I do not have? Why do you think I cannot provide the right leadership for Nigeria to move forward?
“It is not good for anybody to say ‘my aspirant is the best of the aspirants. I don’t think so. All I preach is that people should talk on issues. Nigeria has a problem. If they have given you the opportunity, what are you going to do to make sure that Nigerians benefit?”
Besides the 2023 general elections, Governor Wike also spoke about the activities of the immediate past government in Rivers State.
He recalled that when he came into power in 2015, there was no handover note from his predecessor on the true state of affairs in Rivers.
