Wike who enjoyed the support of the three senators from Rivers State said, “These things can be achieved if you are committed; if you have passion for the job. There are so many people who want to be ministers for the sake that ‘I was a governor’; for the sake that ‘I was a minister’.
According to him, “there are those who say, ‘Look, what do I have to offer? Am I committed to this job?’ I thank Mr. President for nominating me.
“I believe, knowing how hungry Mr President is to solving the problems of Nigeria, we have no choice but to give him that required support. And I can assure you, if I am confirmed in whatever capacity, Mr President will not regret nominating me,” he told the senators.
Meanwhile, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, confirmed Wike’s competence and capacity to deliver in office and subsequently asked him to take a bow.
