Rivers State Government has renamed the Liberation Stadium, Port Harcourt as the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt in honour of Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon who created Rivers State in 1967.

The State Government also renamed the Old Aba road in Port Harcourt as Yakubu Gowon, Road.

In a statement on Sunday signed by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media, the Rivers State Government renamed the stadium and the road to honour General Yakubu Gowon for creating Rivers State in 1967.

It will be recalled that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Saturday during a meeting with General Yakubu Gowon and officials of Nigeria Prays declared that the Rivers State Government will immortalise the former Head of State for his role in the creation of Rivers State.

Good move for national unity.

That means Rivers doesn't support the Biafra course. Gowon is not liked by agitators.

It is a strong message from Wike that some noisy neighbours are on their own. No 'oyel' money for them, in case they will think about annexing Niger Delta.

Old Aba Road constructed by Amaechi and renamed by Wike. It will not stand. Wike should stop his patch patch and construct a new Road for Gowon.

Wike is a disgrace...

How many of your people are immortalised in the so called Gowon's state? Or even in the whole northern state?

Penny wise palm foolish.

Wike's decision is strong indication of his belief in one Nigeria.

G- Go

O-On

W-With

O-One

N-Nigeria

Is Old Aba Road not a federal road, or is it different from the Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway?
