The Rivers state governor, Nyesom
Wike has revealed that he prayed for crisis to be recorded in every part of the
country in order to divert the attention of the federal government from the
state.
Wike said this while speaking at
an event organized by the Nigeria Institute of Public Relations, NIPR, in Port
Harcourt.
The governor said he admonished
people of Rivers state to pray against the federal government’s plan to declare
a State of Emergency in the state.
He added that that the prayer
point was for the federal government to be pre-occupied with tackling incidents
of violence in other parts of the country so that Rivers state can be left
alone.
According to him, “When there was
so much insecurity in this state I was pleading with them but the Federal
government refused to support me. Rather they were looking for an opportunity
to declare a State of emergency.
“So, I came back home to tell my
people to kneel down and pray; Let there be problems everywhere. So, they don’t
talk about me again. They are now talking about Zamfara, Kogi, Benue, Taraba
and Plateau.
“Let them come and declare state
of emergency in Rivers state now. They have to go back and say God, sorry for
what we have done to Rivers state.”
Speaking earlier, National
President of NIPR, Mukhtar Suraj said the institute is working hard to
clampdown on unregistered PR practitioners in Rivers state.
