Addressing the gathering, Wike said, \u201cLet me thank our leaders here, the coordinators at the local government and electoral district levels, the state and national assembly members, and the elders council\u2014for your support.<\/p>\n
\u201cSupport is not shown by words alone; you have demonstrated real commitment. Even without your governor present, you continue to back Mr President and are willing to do everything possible to ensure his success in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cYou have managed with the resources available to you, contributing in ways that will be noticed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that wherever Mr. President is today, he is observing your programme to identify those truly committed to the Renewed Hope Ambassadors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wike praised the group\u2019s dedication, stating that their efforts were motivated by commitment rather than financial gain, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to see Nigerian Naira. All that is required is dedication, and you have shown it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you have done today may attract envy and criticism, but remain focused and continue to support Mr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded by reminding the supporters of his earlier message at a Thanksgiving event:
\u201cI told you then that by January, we would start to play politics. Now, the time has come, and we have begun the politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
