I Believe In A United Nigeria – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has come out to say that he is not against agitation in Nigeria.

He recently revealed this during a visit by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Farouk Yahaya, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is completely fine for anyone to air his or her grievances in the country, however, there should be no form of violence involved.

Wike added that he believes in a united Nigeria, and he is of the opinion that dialogue can solve a lot of our problems.

His words, “God who has put the different people together did not make a mistake by saying there should be a country called Nigeria.”

“There must be differences. There must be anger. It is for us to sit down to discuss it. I have said generally that I am not against anybody agitating for whatever they want to agitate. My advice is that they should not be violent.”

“So, if anybody says they’re agitating, I have no problem. I believe in the unity of this country.”

“I don’t understand why we cannot remove politics from our jobs. Let’s do our jobs and keep the country going. I can tell you that I’m willing and ready to work with all the security agencies, not only the Army.”

“The gunboats we are providing are almost ready. We have paid for everything. We will also provide vehicles. All I need is the security of my people. I’m here to partner you.”
