Wike donates 25 buses to Cross River PDP

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers has donated 25 buses to the Cross River State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Wike said while he would not go to the state to vote in 2023, he would support the candidates as his friends.

He made the donation on Thursday while hosting the Cross River PDP governorship candidate, Senator Sandy Onor, and party stalwarts who visited him in Port Harcourt.

The governor said the visit of the Cross Rivers delegates would spur him to continue to support the party in Cross River ahead of the 2023 general election.

He thanked Cross River PDP delegates for the support given to him at the PDP presidential primaries.

Earlier, Sen. Onor, who led the delegation, said Wike remained a trail blazer for justice, fairness and equity.

Onor stressed that no person in the contemporary history of the PDP had made more sacrifices for the party than Wike had done.

He commended Wike for his steadfast support for the party in Cross River, and said the visit was to express the party’s gratitude for his unparalleled benevolence.

Similarly, Sen. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, (PDP-Cross River-North) noted that without Wike’s support, PDP would have been made extinct in Cross River.

On his part, Mr. Venatius Ikem, Cross River PDP Chairman, thanked Wike for his unrelenting support of the party.

The delegation comprised South-South PDP National Vice-Chairman, Mr Dan Orbih and other party members.

Also in the delegation were Cross River PDP senatorial, House of Representatives, House of Assembly candidates and PDP local government party chairmen.
