2023: When bandits hear my name they will run because I will take the war to them – Wike

Governor of Rivers State and Presidential hopeful, Nyesom Wike has expressed that when he becomes president bandits will tremble at the mention of his name

Speaking at a meeting with delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Taraba state on Thursday. Wike assured that he would take the war to them.

“The one problem that our PDP government must solve is to bring down the level of insecurity in this country otherwise there is no way the economy can grow,” he said.

“When bandits hear my name they will run because I will take the war to them. I will be the commander- in-chief in action.

“I will be commanding in projects, in security, in agriculture and the economy together with the armed forces. I’ll be commanding every aspect of life that will make Nigerians happy. This is because I have the capacity to solve the problems of Nigeria.”

“You cannot stop this insecurity if you don’t have state police. You must have state police, there is no two ways about it,” he said.

“Having a state police does not mean you will not have a federal police. All over the federal system, even councils have their own police so that you employ people who know the environment.

“You cannot take a stranger to Manbila, it will take him years to understand that place. You can’t take a stranger and go to Donga or Chanchangi. So, you need people who know the environment so they will be able to take care of the place.”
