The Rivers State Governor and presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nyesom Wike has said Nigeria needs a mad man as President.
He stated this while speaking on Wednesday to PDP delegates in Kogi State, Naija News reports.
According to him, only a mad man can turn the situation of Nigeria around.
While urging the opposition party delegates to vote for him, Wike promised to take Nigeria to the promised land.
The Rivers governor said: “The energy in me is too much. I want to use the energy to work for the country.
I have made myself available for my party, and to be voted to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Never in the history of this country have we so divided. I can bring the country back on its track of greatness. It doesn’t matter where you are from. It takes a mad man to govern Nigeria.”
Nyesom Wike slammed presidential aspirants who had in the past dumped the PDP after benefiting from it.
He stated that only someone like him who is fearless and courageous can turn the economy around.
“As for me, if you don’t vote for me in our party primary, I will still remain a member of the PDP. I have benefited from this party, and so I have no excuse to defect to another party”, the governor said.
