“Any person who loves Mr President won’t be causing unnecessary crisis for him,” the governor said while receiving members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senate Caucus.

“We have problem in the North East, problem in the South-East, so there is no need for another problem in the South-South .

“It is good that the elections were held so that Nigerians will know the truth about the polity. If elections are held 20 times, PDP will win,” Wike added.
