Wike inaugurates 27 SANs for 2023 legal battles

Governor Nyesom Wike said he has hired a legal team of 27 Senior Advocates of Nigeria as part of his bid to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP wins 2023 presidential election.
Wike revealed this when he received PDP’s Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to contest the 2023 Presidential Election procured for him by a group of friends and associates in Abuja on Tuesday.
Wike, who declared his presidential ambition last Sunday said the hiring of the senior lawyers is another demonstration that that the PDP is battle ready for the 2023 election.

He said the legal luminaries will take care of everybody in the team who is running for election.
“To assure you we are battle-ready, yesterday, we inaugurated our legal team of 27 Senior Advocates of Nigeria. And this will take care of everybody in our team who’s running election so that you need to begin to spend money for any problem – your problem is our problem.”

“As a party person, I have never shied away from supporting this party. Whether I have the ticket today or not, I will work for this party because the party has given me everything since 1999.”
Wike also expressed gratitude for the the presidential form procured for him.

He said, “Today is a special day in my life. My friends have come for me to contribute and help in their own quota in salvaging Nigeria under the platform of PDP.”

“Let me sincerely thank all of you for doing me this honor. For sourcing funds together to buy me this form for me to run for the presidency of Nigeria. Let me wholeheartedly say that I accept this form.”
“I take this form and to tell you yes, I am prepared for this assignment. So many people have said so many things about Nigeria. All of us are aware of the problem we face today. It is not going to be an easy task but it’s a task that’s surmountable. And by the special grace of God with your support, we shall surmount the problem facing Nigeria.”

Ruing the rising insecurity in the country, especially following the repeated attacks on the Kaduna-Abuja rail route and the Kaduna International Airport by terror groups, Governor Wike the APC administration has failed to fulfill its constitutional obligations to Nigerians.

“It’s unfortunate that we are talking about insecurity, we’re talking about banditry, we are talking about kidnappers. We never knew it will get to a time terrorists will take over our international airport.”
“We never knew it will get to a time where the railway will be attacked and we lost so many people. We thought it was kidnapping people at home but it’s a situation where terrorists will make an attempt to seize the airport. It means that security has totally failed – no intelligence. The major thing about insecurity is about intelligence.”

“We took the oath of office to protect life and property and without this, there’s no governance. We can’t talk about food and agriculture when people cannot go to farm. We cannot improve the economy when investors have lost confidence in the country and when we cannot obey simple court orders.”
