Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike says his performance in office is linked to his passion to serve his people and not driven by political party.
Speaking to a large audience at the commissioning of the dualized Ogbunabali/ Eastern Bye pass road in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, the governor said leadership is about an individual and not a political party . He pointed out that if Nigerians occupying political positions had the zeal to serve the people, a lot would have achieved in the country.
” Leadership is not about the political party. Leadership is about individual. Party is only a vehicle to actualise your ambition to be able to tell your people,I have this capacity,I have this quality to render services to you “
” If you take me away from PDP to another party,I will still perform,so it’s not because I am in PDP that I’m performing. It’s because I have that passion for my people.It is because I have the commitment to serve my people.
The governor challenged the people to take him to YPP or any other political platform and see iIf he would not replicate the feat saying ” I will perform. So It’s not the party that makes you to perform.
” I challenge everybody, The problem we have in this country today is because we don’t have people who have that passion who want to serve their people.
Wike said his only regret is not having opportunity to tell bandits ‘enough is enough adding ” If I have the opportunity the bandits know that their time will be gone it’s unfortunate I don’t have it
“But this one I have, I will use it and serve my people so that they will be happy and know that they deserve the best. ”
The road was commissioned by the former governor of Sokoto State, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko.
