According to Wike, he would use the award given to him by President Muhammadu Buhari in recognition of his good work in the state to campaign
Wike also stated that retaliating for a bad action is part of politics and should be done without hesitation.
According to the Governor, the admonition not to retaliate when someone does a bad thing to you is a religious statement and does not apply in politics.
Wike said that if you fail to retaliate, you don’t know whether you will survive the next one, hence the need to take immediate action.
The Governor said this on Wednesday in Rivers when he played host to the former National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole who was in the state to commission a flyover project.
He said: “The Bible says when someone does you bad you shouldn’t retaliate. But in politics, when someone does you badly you retaliate because if you don’t retaliate, you don’t know whether you will survive the next one. Politics is not a religion at all. If not that we were firm, your party needed this state badly.

Wike said APC should just surrender in Rivers State as there is nothing they will use to campaign against him to get the votes of the people.
“Your President has given us an award as the best in infrastructure. So I don’t know again what you will use to campaign in the state again because I am carrying the certificate everywhere I am going to. So, you people should surrender. There is no need for campaigning in this State.”
