Rivers State Governor-elect, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has extended his hands of fellowship to the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi following his successful re-election bid on the need to join hands with him to develop the state. The governor makes the disclosure in a state broadcast to mark the landmark Supreme Court Judgment striking out the appeals by Rivers APC on Thursday.
He said: “Although the present politics of acrimony and bitterness may have strayed from the noble path of the past, I still believe that we shall be better of standing and working together for our State and our people.
“I, therefore, appeal to the APC and the Minister of Transportation to join hands with us to move our dear State forward. We cannot as leaders continue to remain divided and expect the Government to deliver on its responsibilities to our people. Let us from henceforth seek the common ground instead of allowing our differences to be exploited to slowpoke our march to progress.
The governor appealed to the people of the state to eschew all acts of acrimony, criminality, unrest, and violence. He noted that on his part, all will be done to ensure the unity and peaceful co-existence of all our people irrespective of political affiliation”.
Wike further directs the State Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice to review all pending criminal cases linked to politics before the 2019 elections and make necessary recommendations to promote reconciliation.
