Rivers crisis: Wike speaks on ladder used to climb to the top
The immediate past governor of Rovers state and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has asked politicians not to pull down the ladder they used to climb to the top. Warning that if they are coming down back, the ladder might not be there, and more importantly, they should leave the ladder there, so that others to can use it.
The statement comes ss the crisis in Rivers State continues to fester,
Wike made the statement at his residence in Port Harcourt over the weekend while receiving the traditional ruler of Ogbaland.
He said; “Don’t pull the ladder that you use in climbing. When you are coming down, the ladder may not be there. And leave the ladder too so that other people can also climb the ladder.”
He also debunked claims that the political face-off was an ethnic war, stressing that there was no such consideration.
“We didn’t vote based on ethnicity, but for the unity of Rivers. We shall never be part of violence but we will always support peace.
“There are rules within the political group from which you emerge. 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,” he stated.
