Since it appears that the present government in Rivers State is too engrossed in bitter politics to ensure the physical as well as the psychological security of Rivers people, the onus is now on well meaning citizens, to rise up against the circulation of false ideologies that have no bearing whatsoever with our dear state, and country at large.
It is insanity for anybody to stay in the comfort of a hotel room in London and draw up a stupid map that picturises the annexation of Rivers State, and her formidable ethnic nationalities to the defunct Biafra. It is not only an insult on the warrior spirit of the Rivers man, it is also an affront on our right to freedom of association as enshrined in the Supreme document of Nigeria. If it were just the caricature capture of our dear state on the social media et al, then maybe I would not have bothered myself in writing this piece; but these psychopaths have gone a step higher by transmitting hate messages and a call for war on Nigeria via a pirate station called Radio Biafra.
The most annoying part of this rebellious attack, is that they now have a conspicuous interest in the administration of Barr. Nyesom Wike. For a long while now, the infamous presenter of this rebel radio station has been inciting the people of Rivers State through hate speeches against Nigeria and a declaration of his unflinching support for the Nyesom Wike’s led government in Rivers State. In one of his recent broadcast, the self imposed rebel leader, Nnamdi Kalu or whatever his name is, made a statement that should receive the urgent attention of the Department of State Security (DSS), as well as other security agencies in Nigeria. The statement reads; “If we don’t secure Wike, the Hausa/Fulani people will take over Igwuocha(Port Harcourt) through Peterside and Amaechi. We will do everything possible to protect Wike. The Tribunal cannot remove Wike. We will resist them. There are two governors I respect, they are Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Willie Obiano of Anambra State,” he said.
Like every other patriotic Nigerian, I expect the Governor of Rivers State to set aside his penchant for sentiments and immediately distance himself and our dear state from this megalomaniac and his psychopathic war chants, in the same vein that the five governors of the South-Eastern States of Nigeria have done.
As the days go by, the good people of Rivers State will begin a critical examination of Governor Nyesom Wike’s reaction to this unacceptable assault on our existence as an integral part of Nigeria.
