RIVERS STATE GOVERNOR, NYESOME WIKE MOVES OUT OF GOVERNMENT HOUSE

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has disclosed that he has moved out of the government house in preparation to vacate office when his tenure ends in 2023.

According to him, it was certain that political forces would come after him because of his strong views on issues.

The governor described the current travails of former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha and his family as political persecution.

Okorocha has been having a running battle with his successor, Hope Uzodinma, which caused the seizure of property purportedly belonging to his family members and his recent investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Governor Wike was quoted saying, “Political prosecution will come, especially after you have left office. I know they will come after me but I’m prepared, I am ready for them”.

Also, when you have a system that is not doing well, the truth must be told, but people don’t like the truth and that is why they don’t like me.

“As long as I’m concerned, I do my things the way I want and nobody can stop me or tell me what to do or who can be my friend.

“Rochas is facing a lot of crisis, it is not easy to pass through these crises, but it will come, but it will be over.

“I want to encourage him and his son-in-law to be strong. If it doesn’t happen like this, you won’t know that God loves you. You will go through these battles for you to know that there is God.”
