Wike Sends Strong Warning To Okowa, Dickson, Ihedioha And Three Neighbouring Govs
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has sent a strong warning to Governors Serikae Dickson, Ifenayi Okowa, Emeka Ihedioha and the three other governors of states sharing boundaries with Rivers State that he would not be blinded by party considerations in stopping them from grabbing his state’s oil wells.
The governor spoke when he commissioned the dualized and reconstructed Birabi Street, Elegbam-Rumueme in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Friday.
He vowed that Rivers State has the capacity to resist any form of oil well annexation.
He said, “So many states are being used to fight Rivers State to collect our oil Wells. We have the capacity to fight back. No state will take what belongs to Rivers State.
The six states sharing boundaries with Rivers State include Bayelsa, Delta, Anambra, Imo, Akwa Ibom and Abia.
“Whether you are PDP or APC State, anybody who attempts to take what belongs to Rivers, Rivers State will fight back.
“This is not a question of party. It is the interest of the state that matters. My interest is Rivers State, not political party. If you are in PDP and you don’t love Rivers State, I will not love you . My love for you is based upon your love for Rivers State.”.
He said that Rivers State deserves the best, noting that his administration will continue to work for the growth of the state.
The governor said that his administration will enhance the infrastructural base of Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas, as a large percentage of Rivers people live in the state capital territory.
He thanked the people of Rumuadaolu in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area for cooperating with the contractors to deliver the road.
