Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has opened up on why he pulled out of the reconciliation efforts of the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He said; “I told them that in Edo State, we must handle the issue carefully and carry everybody along. They must respect human beings and not behave like tax collectors.”

“They said because an order was obtained from a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, then I am responsible.”

“I have had sleepless nights to resolve the issue in Edo State. The Governors of Edo, Adamawa, and Delta states, know what I have done to resolve the issues in Edo State.”

“As a result of this senseless accusation, I have pulled out of Edo State settlement. My integrity matters.”

“I am brought up not to accept injustice, and that is why I keep speaking out on national issues. Nobody in PDP can intimidate Rivers State.”

“Nobody can threaten me because I said things must be done constitutionally. I will always continue to satisfy my conscience.”

“From now on, I want to concentrate on the development of Rivers State.”
