Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has called on all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliations to rise up to sack the most inefficient Federal Government since the country gained independence.

Addressing journalists after a thank-you visit by the PDP Presidential Candidate and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Sunday evening, Governor Wike said that all PDP leaders and well-meaning Nigerians have a duty to form a united front to sack the failed APC Federal Government.

He said though different party leaders supported different aspirants, with the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate, all hands must be on deck for the good of the country.

The governor said: “We have no party that will salvage the country other than the PDP. A candidate has emerged and we owe it a duty to see that the party takes over from the most inefficient and ineffective party in control of the Federal Government.

“We are one family. You may support aspirant A or B, but once a candidate emerges, you owe it a duty to make sure your party returns to power.
