Speaking on Monday during a victory Thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike stated that with the release of the results, all attachments to party affiliations will be obliterated across the state.

“We are members of the Rivers family. We have no indigene or non indigenes as long as you reside here and contribute to the development of the state. We have a lot of work to do and we must start very early to revive this state.
“This incoming administration will not witch hunt anyone. I make this pledge in the presence of men of God. We have a lot of work to do, therefore we will waste no time witch hunting people. What is important to us is to build a prosperous Rivers State anchored on development and opportunities for all”.
The Rivers State Governor-Elect reiterated his call to all the other contestants who vied for the position with him to join hands with him to develop the state for the good of everyone.
He particularly thanked God for making the victory possible, saying that based on the permutations of political analysts, he stood no chance.
The former Minister of State for Education assured that God will form the cornerstone of his administration, as he will be guided by the love of God and the interest of the greater majority in administering the state.
