Ebonyi Governor Dave Umahi has entreated the President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to make his Rivers counterpart, Nyesom Wike, an integral part of his cabinet.
Umahi’s entreaties was made on Monday when he inaugurated the remodelled Community Secondary School built by the Wike’s administration in Okoro-nu-Odo, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The Ebonyi governor remarked that the soon-to-be former governor deserved to be part of the incoming federal government for two reasons; his contribution to Tinubu and Kashim Shettima’s victory. He also alluded having national interest to Wike.
His words, “And so we commend him and I think that Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) must know that he worked for him, and must also integrate him in the next administration.
“And, so all these set of people, Asiwaju/Shettima must know that God turned their hands, to work for him, to actualize the will of God and actualize unity, equity and fairness. And we are very grateful to God for that.
“God, directly and indirectly, made Governor Wike very much available. And so, there is no way APC can conclude about the success of the election without mentioning Governor Wike.
“And I will be asking Asiwaju/Shettima to please bring Governor Wike to the core administration of the federal government. He has a lot to offer. He has a lot to offer for the unity of the country.”
