“We believe in the unity of this country, but nobody can threaten us. Nobody should threaten us. We believe in the unity of Nigeria, and unity of Nigeria must continue.

”Wike also said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not deliver its presidential ticket to any candidate who will serve only the interest of a few wealthy Nigerians.

He noted that some desperate politicians are already hatching the plot of choosing a candidate who will not serve the interest of many but few wealthy persons.
