“My Lord Bishop, you said I am a presidential aspirant, I am not. I am the candidate of PDP. Rivers state has come of age. I will win and I will win and I will win this election.
“Even those of you who don’t believe, it is unfortunate for you. If you like, those of you who said you are delegates from Rivers state, you will vote for another person, your vote is in vain because no aspirant will defeat me in this election. Not one."

Wike affirmed:
"Whatever conspiracy; whether you are National Working Committee, it is your business. All those people who are fighting me, they are having problems. You think it is my mouth; fight me, you fight yourself."
