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.
