I am not interested in any ministerial position – Gov Wike insists

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said he does not intend to become a minister after his tenure as governor of the state.

He said this during the commissioning of the newly constructed VIP lounge at the Port Harcourt International Airport Omagwa on Tuesday. According to him, he will not be a liability.

He however challenged leaders of the PDP in the state to come home and campaign for their presidential candidate, instead of “carrying rumours” in Abuja.

He said; “only one person can be a minister from a state, I will not be a minister. I will not. I am not a liability, Rivers State is an asset.

“So if you don’t want to win an election, it’s your business. I’m not the one running the election.

“He who wears the shoes knows where it pinches him”.

“You want to support a candidate, you are not at home you’re in Abuja. Come home and campaign and work for the party.

“Stop this Abuja politics of carrying rumours to the candidate
