Wike: Obi, Atiku Can’t Beat Me in Rivers

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has said Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar did not win the 2023 presidential election in Rivers State.

Wike stated this on Monday while speaking on TVC’s Journalists’ Hangout.

He said election results are based on what happened at the polling units and the declaration by INEC. “They won in their imagination,” Wike said.

He said Rivers has over 7,000 polling units across 23 local government areas, adding that winning in some polling units does not mean winning the whole state.

Wike also spoke about the 2027 election, saying he was not worried about his political opponents coming together against him.

He said his past elections were not easy but described the 2027 contest as the easiest he expects to face.

How a Handful of Criminals Overseas Are Defining 200 Million Nigerians At Home -What You Must Know

If you're not worried, I'm worried for Nigeria. My heart is pained daily as I read about Nigeria through the different media outlets. There are Nigerians in almost all countries of the world. In the middle East, North and South America, Europe, and Asia, Nigerians are spread in all the countries of these continents. But one thing is common, only a handful of these Nigerians are earning a decent living without involving in criminal activities.

...But Why are Nigerians in Their Thousands Migrating to South Africa, a Fellow African Nation?... This Research Answers The Question

I just did a quick research on South Africa. For days or weeks I've been wondering what's special about South Africa that almost every African country has their nationals in South Africa more than any other country in the African continent. My instinct was telling me that there's something special that's attracting people from other African countries, especially Nigeria and Ghana, to South Africa.
