Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has confirmed taking the
COVID-19 vaccination dispelling insinuations that he refused to take the jab.
Wike also said ahead of the resumption of international
flights at the Port Harcourt Airport, the government would dissolve the
tribunal set up to prosecute violators of COVID-19 protocol if federal
authorities tried to influence the outcome of cases.
The governor in a statement signed by his Special Assistant,
Media, Kelvin Ebiri, spoke on Saturday when the Presidential Task Force on
COVID-19 delegation led by the National Incident Manager, Dr. Mukhtar Muhammad
paid him a courtesy at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
He said: “Some people said that I did not take my vaccine. I
did, but am not into the public show. Taking a vaccine is not undertaking any
project for anybody to see that you have taken the vaccine.
“It has turned to politics. Assuming what am taking is not
the vaccine? Yes, I can pretend and then they will put it on the news that I
have taken the vaccine.
“Nigerians like to play politics with everything. They will
call the press, Governor this has taken, Governor that has taken. But let them
not tell you that I have not taken. I did my own in the Government House Clinic
quietly. So I don’t need to begin to announce it to the world.”
