Wike Urges Political Figures Not to Sabotage Others Amid Rivers State’s Unrest

---

Amidst the turbulence of political discord in Rivers State, former Governor Nyesom Wike issued a stern warning to politicians, advising them against obstructing the paths that have elevated them to esteemed positions.

“Remember not to dismantle the ladder you climbed. It might not be there when you descend,” Wike cautioned on Saturday. “Leave the ladder intact for others to follow suit.”

Addressing the traditional ruler of Ogbaland during birthday celebrations at his Port Harcourt residence, Wike received leaders from Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, led by Nwachukwu Nnam-Obi III, who advocated for peace in the state.

In response, Wike, also serving as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, affirmed his commitment to heeding advice and seeking peaceful resolutions. He dismissed claims of ethnic strife, emphasizing that the state’s unity was the electorate’s focus during elections.

“Our votes weren’t cast based on ethnicity but for Rivers’ cohesion,” Wike clarified. “We stand against violence and endorse peace.”

Regarding political conduct, Wike stressed adherence to established norms within the political landscape. “Like the adherence to traditional rules by an Oba, in politics, certain conduct is expected and must be observed,” he elucidated.
