The 2023 governorship candidate of the Accord party in Rivers State, Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs, revealed during an interview with Arise TV why the incumbent governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, can not just make him the governor because of their closeness.
Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs, who promised to run an inclusive government if he emerged as the Governor of Rivers State in 2023, affirmed the claim by the people that he is close to Governor Wike and also noted that he is close to other top politicians in the state because he doesn't play the politics of bitterness. He, however, noted that his closeness to Gov. Wike does not serve as an indication that he should gift him the governorship seat after his tenure, because it is not something that is gifted just like that, as Gov. Wike needs to access him based on their relationship, his agenda for Rivers State people and others.
Dumo Lulu Briggs made this statement as a reaction to the issue raised by one of the Arise TV correspondents that many people were of the view that Gov. Wike should have supported him to be the state Governor due to their assumed closeness.
It will be noted that Tonye Cole of the All Progressive Congress, Siminialayi Fubara of the People Democratic Party, and Dumo Lulu Briggs of the Accord Party are some of the most popular candidates that will be on the Rivers State governorship ballot come 2023.
