As the crisis in Rivers State continues to fester, the
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has cautioned
politicians against pulling down the ladder they use to climb to the top.
Wike spoke at his residence in Port Harcourt while receiving
the traditional ruler of Ogbaland.
According to Wike: “Don’t pull the ladder that you use in
climbing. When you are coming down, the ladder may not be there. And leave the
ladder too so that other people can also climb the ladder.”
The immediate past governor of the state also debunked
claims that the political face-off was an ethnic war, stressing that there was
no such consideration.
“We didn’t vote based on ethnicity, but for the unity of
Rivers. We shall never be part of violence but we will always support peace.
“There are rules within the political group from which you
emerge. You cannot say that because an Oba has emerged and then an Oba will not
follow the rules of the traditional institution. No, an Oba will always obey
the rules. So also in politics. There are things you must not do and there are
things you must do,” he stated.
