Wike, who spoke with newsmen in Port Harcourt, explained that he’d given himself the moniker of “local champion” because he had spent all his life in Port Harcourt except when he went to Law School in Lagos.
He also described himself as the engine room of former Governor Chibuike Amaechi’s election into office but is now teaching those in Amaechi’s camp the way to play the game of politics, because “there is no polling booth in the state that I do not know or do not know anybody.”
For those who have been criticizing his emergence as governor, he said, “the fact is that I was prepared for that election.
“I was a Council Chairman. There is nowhere in this state that I do not know. There is no ward I do not know one person.
“As I sit down here, I can mention one, one person from each ward. I know the politicians in this state. I know who has strength and who does not have strength.”
The governor also said that during the course of the campaigns, “I never emaciated one day, the truth of the matter is that if you do the election 100 times in this state, I will win.”
