My performance has nothing to do with PDP, says Wike
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said his effective leadership in politics has nothing to do with being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Wike said this at the inauguration of the dualized Ogbunuabali-Eastern Bypass Road in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
According to the governor, leadership is not a function of political party but mindset of the individual.
He said, “Leadership is not about party, leadership is about individual. Party is only a vehicle to actualize 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 today from PDP to another party, I will still perform. So, it is not because I’m in PDP that I’m performing.
“It is because I have that passion for my people. It is because I have the commitment to serve my people. Take me to YPP, allow to become whatever I will become there, I will perform. Take me to any party, I will perform. So, it is not party that makes you to perform.”

The governor attributed his undying love, passion and commitment to render effective service to Rivers people has what has differentiated him from other politicians.
Wike asserted that there is a sustained commitment to add value to life, impact change with the infrastructural revolution and make the state better.
According to Wike, while others had used the economic hardship as excuse not to render leadership and service to their people, he found a more rewarding way to sustain the delivery of projects in Rivers.
Wike’s comment comes amid the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and moves to reconcile him with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the opposition party.
Recall that he contested the presidential ticket of the party but lost to Atiku Abubakar.
He had reportedly shown interest in the Vice-Presidential slot but Ifeanyi Okowa, his Delta counterpart, was chosen.
