Wike spoke about his achievements in office as governor of Rivers State to justify his assurance:
“It is on record that I changed the landscape of Port Harcourt. In four years, I constructed 12 flyovers; it is not magic. What is important is the commitment you have.
“I left as a hero; till May 27, I was inaugurating projects. This can be achieved if you are dedicated.
“I thank the president for the nomination and I believe and I know that Mr President is hungry to solve the problems of Nigeria.
“We have no choice than to give him that support.’’
Following a voice vote, President of the Senate, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, asked the former Rivers State governor to “take a bow and go.’’
