PRESS RELEASE FROM THE RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT HOUSE:


APC AND ITS SUPPORTERS IN RIVERS STATE RESPONSIBLE FOR CRISIS ROCKING THE STATE TO DISCREDIT WIKE’S ACHIEVEMENTS.

It has become clear that the security challenges rocking Rivers state currently is artificial and instigated by the All Progressive Congress in the state.

The Governor Wike administration is aware of the ongoing moves by the said opposition to ensure that Rivers state is ungovernable so that the effort of this administration to realise economic prosperity and infrastructural transformation for Rivers people is not achieved.

From both the secret and open activities and actions of the APC, it is obvious that it is seriously frustrated by the great success story of the Wike led government and so is working frantically hard to ensure that the state is BLACKMAILED as not being conducive enough, so as to scare away investors, but this will remain an effort in futility.

Contrary to the running propaganda and falsehood by the said opposition, it is INDEED the APC that is sponsoring this crisis so they can create an occasion to wrongly accuse the government. This is most unfortunate and sad but again it only portrays them as having nothing to offer other than to keep circulating lies and falsely accuse government just so they could create topics for themselves so as to incite their miscreant loyalists to cause unrest and artificial tension in the state.

The Wike led government is unrelenting in its effort to ensure a safe and secure Rivers state for investors to keep coming and for the state economy to keep thriving as it is currently doing. In keeping with this mandate, it has enjoyed the full cooperation and support from the security Agencies for which the  Government donated some 64 Vans and other gadgets to fight crime and criminality in the state; and so government wishes to commend them including the Nigerian Police Rivers state Command for their sacrifice and doggedness and success recorded so far to ensure that Law and order are observed in the state.

Governor Wike has renewed his pledge never to play politics with the life and property of Rivers people, including residents and investors.

He therefore reassures everyone doing business in the  state of full government support and the enabling environment needed for their investments to thrive.
