Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers
State has warned that he would not allow any group “intimidate, harass or
attack other Nigerians” resident in his state.
Wike issued the warning while
declaring that he would never support any move that will lead to the breakup of
Nigeria.
The governor made these remarks
when he hosted Northern governors’ forum, who paid him a visit on Monday.
According to Wike, “Rivers state
believes in the unity of this country. Rivers state will not be a part of those
calling for the disintegration of Nigeria. We owe it a duty to protect every
Nigerian living in the state.
I will not allow any group to
intimidate, harass or attack other Nigerians living in the state. We are Rivers
people and we belong to the Niger Delta.”
Urging aggrieved Nigerians to
dialogue in the interest of peace and development, Wike said, “I am not against
anyone who wants to protest any grievance but, there are channels for such
protests”.
Following attacks on the Hausa
community at Oyigbo Local Government area of the state by members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, (IPOB), the governor had last week warned the group to
steer clear of the state.
