Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi has advised President-elect, Bola Tinubu to make Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state part of his administration.
Umahi described Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as a man who has a lot to offer to Tinubu who won the presidential election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The governor of Ebonyi State stated this on Monday during an event hosted by Wike in Obio-Akpo LGA of Rivers State.
According to Umahi, the 2023 general election story cannot be told without Wike being mentioned.
He said, “I thank God Almighty who had enacted that Asiwaju (Tinubu) and (Kashim) Shettima will win.
“Look at the process of God, Tinubu was courageous, and Shettima. God, directly and indirectly, made Governor Wike very much available, and there is no way you can conclude about the success of the election without mentioning Governor Wike.

“We will be asking Asiwaju and Shettima to please bring Governor Wike to the core administration of the federal government. He has a lot to offer.
“He has a lot to offer for the unity of the country. It is not all about party now, it is about the unity of the country, it is how to move this country forward and reunite our people.”
Umahi said any politician who hopes to win in Rivers state without Wike is joking.
He added, “Our people want performance, if you have performed as a governor, the people will stand with you.”
Tinubu won the majority of votes in Rivers, polling 231,591 votes to defeat Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi and PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar who got 175,071 votes and 88,468 votes respectively.
