The Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro. Felix Obuah, has declared that the party’s choice of Governor Nyesom Wike was divine.

Obuah spoke in Port Harcourt while commending the youths of the state for embarking on a 4-kilometre walk in appreciation of Governor Wike’s performance tagged ‘Walk 4 Wike Season 2’, held on Wednesday.

The party leader, according to a statement, expressed gratitude to the youths “who turned out in their thousands to acknowledge the laudable achievements of Governor Wike in just two years in office and walked from Pleasure Park through the length of Aba Road and terminated at Government House, Port Harcourt.”

He praised them for their sense of patriotism, stressing that the landmark event had vindicated the PDP in the choice of Governor Wike as its standard bearer in the 2015 Governorship Election.

Obuah disclosed that “as a party whose principles and actions are anchored on faith in God, the PDP prayerfully chose Governor Nyesom Wike in 2015 as the party’s Governorship Candidate, having the conviction that he was the divine choice to steer the ship of the State.

“We are eternally grateful to the Almighty God who gave us the inspiration and wisdom to make the choice. It was a choice divinely approved and the people of the state have by this historic march lent credence to the fact that Wike was God-sent to Rivers people.”

Obuah, while commending D-Source Connect Group for packaging the event, also commended the youths for their huge turnout to identify with the good works of Governor Wike and expressed confidence that such show of appreciation would inspire the Governor to do even more for the people.

He said the event would remain indelible in the annals of the party and State, charging them to keep up the tempo by giving more support to the Governor as he strives to make life better for the people.
