Wike who also made the same boast during the official launching of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, a platform meant to mobilise political leaders across party lines in the state in support of Tinubu’s re-election held at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Wike said no force in the state can stop the movement as there were earlier speculations that the stadium will not be open for the event.
“Let me say and I stand to be corrected that those who worked with us from the inception from 2014 when we mounted the idea of the governorship of the state, none of them have disappointed us.
“Those of them that we cannot tell their story are those who were later day converts. They were not the original part of the planning of me becoming the governor of Rivers State,” he added.
