President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has come out to thank the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike for his contribution to his victory in the February 25 presidential election. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he came to the state to fulfill the pledge he made during the campaigns in Rivers, because once he makes a promise, he keeps it.

He added that he does not intend to marginalize any region as president and his legacy projects will be scattered across Nigeria.

His words, “Nyesom, I say thank you for your contribution to my victory. I couldn’t have done it without some structural support. I will never forget the pivotal role the great and wonderful people of this state played in my victorious campaign to become the next President of this country. You have my eternal gratitude.”

“In His Excellency, Governor Wike, I see a man of principle. He took a principled stand that the Presidency should be returned to the South; and he had the courage to stand by his convictions, not minding whose ox was gored.”

“He is, indeed, a man of great integrity. He did not choose to serve his own interests, rather, the interests of the nation and the people of Rivers State. I thank him for his selfless leadership.”

“I will not marginalise any region, but will leave legacy projects across the length and breadth of Nigeria.”
