In a bold statement of unity and determination, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, declared, 'Nobody can push us out in Rivers.' This powerful assertion was made during his 'thank you' visit to the Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, where he expressed gratitude for the unwavering support of the people of Rivers in the 2023 election. Wike's message was clear: the people of Rivers stood by him and elected President Bola Tinubu against all odds, and now, as the benefits of that decision start to unfold, he will not allow anyone to take credit or disrupt the progress.
Wike's words were a reminder of the strength of the people's support, and he urged his supporters to remain united and focused on Tinubu's re-election in 2027. He highlighted the activities of those seeking to distract and undermine the Renewed Hope Agenda, but he assured his supporters that they should not be afraid. Instead, they should continue to work together and build on the progress made.
The governor's visit was also an opportunity to thank the people for their support and to encourage them to keep working together. He assured them that 2026 would be even better than 2025, and he invited them to continue supporting Tinubu's vision for the state. The visit was a testament to the strong relationship between the governor and the people of Rivers, and it served as a reminder of the power of unity and determination in achieving shared goals.
The event was attended by several notable figures, including the Mayor of Port Harcourt, Sir Allwell Ihunda, and Mrs BHarcourtlessing Amadi, representing Port II Federal Constituency. Ihunda commended Tinubu for ensuring democratically elected council chairmen in Rivers, while Amadi praised Wike for giving women a voice at the decision-making table by making women vice chairmen in all the LGAs of the state. Mr Smart Adoki, representing Port Harcourt II in the State Assembly, also expressed gratitude to Wike for his support in 2023 and pledged continued allegiance to him, recognizing the value he brings to the people of Rivers.
