Wike, Okowa
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers has replied to comments made by his Delta counterpart and vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa.
Naija News reported that Okowa, on Friday, had said the PDP will win the presidential election with or without the support of the G5 Governors.
Speaking at the PDP rally in Delta, the governor added that it is only God that can make the opposition PDP win the 2023 presidential election, and Wike and his allies.
“It is only the power of God that can help us to win. So, whether the G5 said that they would work with APC or any other party, we will win,” Okowa had said.

Reacting to Okowa’s comments, Wike said God will not allow those who will sell off Nigeria to be in power, adding that the Almighty will not allow anybody that people will betray agreemen to be in power.
He said Okowa should understand that God doesn’t give power to the “wicked and treacherous”, adding that God will not allow those who will betray their brothers when they have agreed to do something to win the 2023 election.
Wike said this on Saturday during the flag-off of the construction of the Ogbo-Ihugbodo road in Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state.
He said: “Don’t be treacherous in life because you want power. God will never give power to the wicked. Our hands are clean; we have not done anything wrong.
“All we are saying is, do things in a way all of us will have a sense of belonging; that all of us will believe that we are together. That is all we are saying. If saying so is wrong, then let it be to God. But we know that it is good as right takes, let left take also.
“We are alive today; we are where we are because of God. Nobody can even breathe air if not God, not to talk of holding position. So, nobody can tell us that it is only God. We know that it is only God that gives power.
“But our prayer is that ‘God, don’t allow those who will sell off Nigeria to be in power’. Our prayer is ‘God, don’t allow anybody that people will have an agreement with, and in the next two minutes, the person will change’.
