Following the declaration of Nyesom Wike as the winner of the March 9th governorship election in Rivers State by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC , goodwill messages have been renting the air from chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Former vice president and presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki and speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara were among the first to congratulate Wike on emerging victorious at the polls.
This is as Port Harcourt is agog with celebration following Wike’s victory.
Wike defeated his closest rival, Awara Biokpomabo of African Action Congress by winning 19 out of the 21 declared local government areas.
Congratulations Governor Nyesom Wike. It gives me much pleasure to see a political force such as yourself, overcome the anti-democratic forces of dictatorship and oppression. I am sure you will continue the pattern of good works for which you have become renowned. -AA https://t.co/fTNzWKi5sq

Governor Wike, #TheAmaechiSlayer, forced Rotimi @ChibuikeAmaechi to give birth to the creature his potbelly has carried for many years. Congratulations Amaechi. You have given birth to triplets named DISGRACE, DEFEAT & REJECTION. Both father and triplets are doing well in Abuja.
