(Nigeria) Rivers State Governor, Mr Nyesom Wike has declared that he will always work for the stability and growth of the Peoples Democratic Part, PDP, because Nigerians are yearning  for the party to restore the welfare of the citizenry.
This is as PDP leaders from across the country described the governor as a man of character who is steadfast and committed to nation-building  and the survival of the PDP.
They spoke on Wednesday night during a Special Birthday Service and Dinner in honour of Governor Wike at his country home in Port Harcourt.
Governor Wike said: "I will never do anything that will bring down the PDP. I will continue to work for the party to meet the expectations of Nigerians.  Nigerians are waiting for the PDP to rise and salvage them.
"My advice  to the new National Working committee is that you should endeavour not to fail Nigerians. Don't  compromise, no matter the bait".
He stated that he is strong politically  because of the nature of solid support that he has received from the leaders of Rivers State from across all ethnic divides.
The governor said that such support has made it impossible  for the rampaging APC Federal Government to derail the process of development and rebirth taking place  in the state.
"I will continue  to work for the people of Rivers State and Nigeria because my survival and longevity are deposited  in the hands of God. God has protected me over the years, despite  the challenges I have faced. Every additional year is a blessing from God and a call to greater service ", Governor Wike said.
Governor Wike said that he will always stand for what is right because God has been kind to him and his family.
He said: "People should be firm and truthful at all times. I don't abandon my friends no matter the situation.  If you take a bullet for me, I will take a bullet for you".
Commenting  on a former governor who celebrated the  10th anniversary of a Supreme Court judgment, Governor Wike regretted the level of hypocrisy when the same man shut down courts in Rivers State for two years.
He said beginning Friday December 15, his administration will flag off the construction of new projects in Port Harcourt, Ikwerre , Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Abua, Ahoada East/West and  Asari-Toru Local Government Areas of the state.
In his remarks, Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku stated  that Governor Wike has done well for Rivers State and Nigeria, hence he should be celebrated.
He said that the contributions  of the Rivers State Governor were significant  to the revival of the PDP.
Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of PDP Governors Forum, Ayo Fayose described Governor Wike as a manifestation of courage and a hope for the down trodden.
He said: "Our association  with him has yielded positive  results  for the country as we will continue  to stand for the ordinary people ".
Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio said that the people of Rivers State have every reason to thank God  for the gift of Governor Wike.  He said the governor has remained  focused in service delivery despite the distractions.
Also speaking, PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus said Governor Wike is a miracle governor that has remained focused in the service of his people  and the protection of democracy.
Former Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi praised Governor Wike for being a committed and principled democrat who supported  the committee at very critical times.
Earlier, a Birthday Service in honour of the Rivers State Governor was held at the Nyesom-Wike Family Chapel.  Gospel artistes and choirs performed to the Glory of God, while Venerable Richard Okpara who conducted the service prayed for the family of the Rivers State Governor.
