Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has stated that the people and
government of the state believe in the in the unity of Nigeria.
He stated this when he paid Sallah homage to Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar as
well as his Sokoto State counterpart, Aminu Tambuwal on Tuesday.
“Rivers State and its people believe in the oneness and unity of
Nigeria and that is our stand. Sultan is a father to all Nigerians and
he is a peace builder in Nigeria and beyond,” he said.
Wike observed that there were better ways to solve the agitation and
problems of Nigeria, rather than seeking break up of Nigeria.
“My message to Nigerians is for us to call for the unity of Nigerians
and continue to work for its unity. For all those who have one problem
or another, there are many ways through which we can sit and resolve
those problems and not to call for the break-up of Nigeria.
“The other time the Sultan of Sokoto was in Rivers and today I have
come to pay homage to him and the governor of Sokoto State.
“That shows you that we believe in the unity of this country. We
don’t believe in the break-up of this country. We call on our people to
pray for peace and unity of Nigeria and not to say something that will
devide us,” Wike added.
