Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike said the people of Katsina told him Muhammadu Buhari failed to protect them despite the president being their son.
Wike made this known when he met with leaders and delegates of the PDP in Lokoja, the capital city of Kogi State.
He said: “I was in Katsina yesterday (Tuesday) and people were saying the president is from Katsina; our own son is the president, yet so much insecurity in Katsina State. So, it does not matter now where you come from, what matters now is who is going to do this work.”
Wike, however, vowed to form a government of national unity if elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The governor stated that he will bring strong leadership to bear and bridge the current division that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has engendered among Nigerians.
“If we win, we will form a government of national unity in which we will bring everybody together. God didn’t make mistake to have put us all in a country called Nigeria. God has given us everything. All that is required is strong leadership that can put everything together and you’ll see Nigeria become what it should truly be.”
Governor Wike stated that he is prepared, desirous and full of energy to lead Nigeria out of its current woes.
He noted the enormity of the challenges but assured that he will be that president who will not shy away from his responsibility to Nigeria.
“When I take action, you’ll know the president has taken action. It will not be a leadership that is unsure of what decision to make or not. I have the character and people know me for the character that I have and what I will do. Nigerians know my views on issues. If we want to do something, let’s do it rightly.”
