“Don’t pull the ladder that you use in climbing. When you are coming down, the ladder may not be there,” cautioned Wike on Saturday. “And leave the ladder too so that other people can also climb the ladder.”
The ex-governor, currently entangled in a dispute with his successor and the incumbent governor of the oil-rich state, Siminalayi Fubara, conveyed his message at his residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital. He addressed the traditional ruler of Ogbaland, who had come to extend birthday felicitations.
Chiefs and other members of the traditional institution from Ogbaland in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of the state, led by the traditional ruler Nwachukwu Nnam-Obi III, emphasized the need for peace in the state.
In response, Wike, also serving as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), assured the monarch that he would heed his advice and welcomed peaceful resolutions.
Contrary to claims portraying the political dispute as an ethnic conflict, the minister clarified that there is no such consideration. “We didn’t vote based on ethnicity…but for the unity of Rivers,” emphasized Wike. “We shall never be part of violence but will always support peace.”
He further highlighted the importance of adhering to established rules within political groups, drawing parallels between political and traditional institutions. “You cannot say that because an Oba has emerged and then an Oba will not follow the rules of the traditional institution. No; an Oba will always obey the rules. So also in politics, there are things you must not do and there are things you must do.”
