A presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party , Senator Ahmed Makarfi says Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is the most targeted politician in Nigeria.

Speaking on Wednesday while commissioning  Nyemoni Grammar School, Abonnema in Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of the state which was renovated and remodelled by the Wike administration, Makarfi accused the ruling All Progressives Congress  of doing everything possible to distract the Governor.

“The most targeted politician in Nigeria today is Governor Nyesom Wike. Everything is being done to distract you, but you must keep on working,” the presidential hopeful said.

He noted that Governor Wike had raised the bar in the delivery of projects and programmes. Makarfi stressed that it was in the best interest of the people of Rivers State to re-elect him so he could stabilize the development process of the state

Makarfi, a former Acting National Chairman of PDP emphasized that Nigerians who love democracy will always stand with Wike for his investments in the sustenance of democracy.

“Nigerians who love democracy are with Governor Wike. If not for Governor Wike’s enormous contributions, opposition would have died. That would have been the end of democracy in Nigeria.

“It is suicidal for the people of Rivers State to let Governor Wike go. It is in the interest of the state that Governor Wike is re-elected to stabilize the development process of Rivers State,” he added.
