We May Not Be There, But We Shall Get There Soon - Fintiri

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri Friday received his Rivers State counterpart, Governor Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, on a courtesy visit at the Government House Yola.

The Rivers State Governor said he was in the State to commend Governor Fintiri and members of the PDP Convention Planning Committee for making the party proud by conducting a transparent and rancour-free convention.

“For making our party proud, today Nigerians believe that PDP has put itself in a position to take over the affairs of this country. It was not easy,” Wike said.

He stated that those who have not participated in organising a party convention might presume it was an easy feat to accomplish.

“At a time most people were expecting that it may not work out for PDP, it did not only work out well, but it was also peacefully conducted, the best ever conducted since PDP started."

“I believe that when people have done well, you commend them. When you give them another opportunity, they will put in their best. I have come here today to say to my brother, you’ve done well with your people. You did not put us to shame,” Wike added.

He noted that when he and others nominated Governor Fintiri as the Chairman of the Convention Planning Committee, they never had any reservation about his capacity to deliver a credible and transparent convention."

“Today, Ahmadu Fintiri has become a household name in Nigerian politics, because of the convention he conducted which was very transparent. Thank you for what you have done for our great party,” he said.

The Rivers State Governor also used the occasion to shower encomiums on Governor Fintiri for his developmental strides in Adamawa State, particularly in Yola, the state capital.

In his remarks, Governor Fintiri commended all the PDP Governors and other stakeholders of the party for giving his committee the opportunity to serve.

“God, through his wisdom has seen us through. We have a stable party that is ready to take over government in 2023. We must thank you for your thoughtfulness to come on this courtesy call to appreciate the little we were able to do in carrying out this assignment on behalf of all of us,” he said.

“We are not just colleagues, we are not just in the same party, we have discovered ourselves to be good friends and even metamorphosing into being brothers. This is what we need in this country."

“That is why I am not a supporter of those who are calling for zoning of the presidency. I am for those that are calling for a good candidate that can bring this country together, and improve on the potentials that abound in both human and capital development of Nigeria."

“But I trust that whoever we are going to get as our presidential candidate in 2023 will be the person that Nigerians want, will be the person that understands this country and will be the person that will pull this country together and put her where she belongs in the comity of nations.”

The Adamawa State Governor said his administration has been doing its best to attract people into the party by embarking on human and infrastructural development.

“It is not easy considering the available resources, but through fiscal discipline and elimination of waste in governance, we are able to save and put it into developmental projects,”
Also during the visit they inspected the grade interchange flyover nearing completion.
