Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Monday said anyone against zoning was being selfish, saying he wants to offer himself to the people of Nigeria.
Wike made the comment while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“I want to become Nigeria’s President because one, we are in problem,” he said. “And I want to offer myself to the people of this country to solve such problems.
“Because I do know, as a man who loves this country, as a man who is committed to the development of this country, you can’t be standing aloof, seeing your country sliding the way it is sliding.
Mr. Wike said he has the ability to solve Nigeria’s insecurity problems, referencing his war against oil bunkering in Rivers State.
He lambasted the All Progressives Congress for deceiving Nigerians and for their failure to stamp out corruption.
The Governor called for the PDP to zone the Presidency to the South, stressing that anyone against zoning was being selfish.
He, however, pledged to abide by the party’s decision in the matter.
Mr. Wike on Sunday became the latest PDP strongman to declare his intention to become President.
Other aspirants in the party include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President Bukola Saraki and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, among others.
