As reactions continue to trail the nomination of former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, by President Bola Tinubu, the immediate past State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Felix Obuah, has described the development as a “bold and strategic move” by the President to transform the country.

Obuah, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, on Tuesday, August 1, 2023 in Port Harcourt expressed delight over the development, congratulating him on his nomination and successful screening by the Senate.

Renowned for his sharp political acumen, Obuah emphasized that former Governor Wike’s nomination would bring immense benefits to the country, given his wide experience in governance and proven track records as a transformative leader during his tenure as governor.

“With Wike at the helm of affairs in Tinubu’s cabinet, we can expect a progressive and visionary approach to addressing the nation’s challenges.”

Obuah, who steered the ship of the PDP’s overall campaign during the last general election in Rivers State, noted that Wike’s dedication, vision, and relentless efforts to improve the lives of Nigerians have been exemplary, adding that the former governor’s achievements have garnered admiration from both within and outside the state.

He affirmed that Governor Wike’s exceptional leadership qualities, extensive experience, and deep understanding of the challenges facing the nation will undoubtedly make him an outstanding asset in the federal government.

“Throughout his eight years in office, Governor Wike demonstrated his commitment to national development, good governance, and equitable distribution of resources. His track records speak volumes about his ability to bring about positive change, foster unity, and uphold the ideals of democracy.”
