Wike, who officially made his intention known in Makurdi on Sunday, said his love for the country stimulated his ambition to vie for the top political office, adding that he cannot be watching the country go down when he has the power to rescue it.

Governor Wike, who would be running on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party, claimed that his administration had done well in Rivers, saying he would be doing the same for Nigeria if elected as president.

He said, “I want to become Nigeria’s President because, currently, we are in a problem and I want to offer myself to the people of this country to solve all the issues.

“Because I do know that as a man who loves this country and as a man who is committed to the development of Nigeria, I can’t be standing aloof, seeing this country sliding the way it is going.

“As Governor of Rivers State, I solve problems. And I believe that should we just close our eyes and allow this country to go the way it is going? I say, no. So I’m going to offer myself, so I can contribute.”

Meanwhile, Newsone Nigeria reports that Governor Wike had during his declaration in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, said he had the power to right the wrongs of the All Progressives Congress, APC’s administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari.
