October 1: Rivers People Believe In Nigeria’s Unity – Wike
Governor Nyesom Wike has advised the Nigerian government to ensure good governance to end the increasing agitation for secession.
It’s 6 days to October 1 and several statements are being made about Nigeria’s Unity.
Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike says Rivers people believe in Nigeria’s unity.
The Governor made this known at the 57th Independence Church Service, which held at Saint Mark’s Anglican Church in Port Harcourt.
“God has blessed this country, we are not part of those who want to secede, Rivers State will never be part of that,” the Governor stressed.
The governor, however, advised the Federal Government to ensure good governance to end the increasing agitation for self-determination.
“In as much as you continue to have bad governance, people will continue to agitate across the country, we give God the glory that we are still one, despite the agitations and challenges,” he added.
He called for justice and equity for all citizens, advising Nigerians to always speak out against injustice.
Gov. Wike noted that politicians sometimes behaved irrationally because of their thinking that they could always manipulate election results.
The Governor called for enhanced security and an independent justice system for all federating units.
He stated that such gesture will give all Nigerians a sense of belonging and reduce the palpable tension across the country.
