I can’t betray Rivers interest for personal political gain – Governor Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers Stare has vowed to never betray the trust bestowed on him by the good people of the state.

Wike stated this during the opening of the 5.33km Ogu-Ekporo-Kpogor-Wakama Link Road at Tende Ama and Ogu in the Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area on Friday.

In a statement titled ‘I can’t betray Rivers interest/electorates –Gov Wike’ by his Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, the governor attributed the success of his administration as a sign of God honoring the state.

While disclosing that several people had approached him in the past, Wike emphasized he has vowed to never compromise the interest of the people of Rivers for personal political gain.

Wike particularly acknowledged the doggedness of Ogu and Okrika women for esisting the military from rigging the 2019 election, saying the people of Rivers are not second-class citizens in Nigeria.

He said, “This is one of the local governments that was very strong for me. During the last 2019 election, it was historic, it is like the Aba women’s riots.

“It was here that the women’s revolution started as against the military that wanted to rig us out in that election. Each time I remember, I say, ‘God, thank you for using these women.’

“So, I want all Rivers people to be firm and walk with their shoulders held high. We are not second-class citizens in this country.”
