Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has again addressed tough on the crisis, saying those eager in Rivers vote must come to the state. He said the state would no longer be Father Christmas, doling out votes without mediating Rivers’ interest.?
?Referring to the ineffective moves for reconciliation, Wike said Rivers remained strategic in any election and that he would not go and look for anybody.?
?
Wike’s reconciliation team was in Port Harcourt, Rivers capital, on Monday but waited in vain for members of Atiku’s committee, who failed to turn up for the important talk.?
?
Wike said: “I believe that they must know us because we have what it takes to deliver. They must come. I’m not going to find anybody. You must come here. You can’t take 600,000 votes away from my local government or 3.2 million votes from my state just like that.”?
?
He claimed that the days were gone when supporters gave their votes and did not get anything in return.?
?
“If we were Father Christmas before, we won’t be Father Christmas again? You must tell me what is there for me if I should vote. So, nobody should bother himself. At the appropriate time, we will talk to our people and our people will understand. If you say we don’t exist, we will tell you that you don’t exist.”?
