I promise to end killings in Plateau, Zamfara and other states if elected president, says Wike

Presidential hopeful and Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to end the massacre of citizens of Plateau and other States if elected president in 2023.

This is as he described as regrettable the failure of the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government to end the incessant wanton destruction of lives and property in Plateau State.

The governor stated this on Saturday when he visited Jos, Plateau State capital, as part of his ongoing consultation with delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party across the country ahead of the party’s convention slated for 28/ 29 May 2022.

Wike in a statement by his media aide, Kelvin Ebiri, in Port Harcourt, observed that under the watch of the APC-led Federal Government, banditry and other horrid criminal activities have been thriving in Plateau State, which is regrettably governed by the same party.

“APC is at the Federal Government level. APC is at the Villa. The only Federal Government project in Plateau is banditry. That is the only project that can be given to Plateau people,” he said.

Wike told the delegates that if given the PDP presidential election, he will win the 2023 general election for the party and subsequently end the menace of heart-wrenching violence in Plateau and other parts of the country.

“Give me the ticket, I will win the election and this thing will be a thing of the past,” he said.
