Ernest Chinwo in Port Harcourt

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared his support for military operation in the Niger Delta, codenamed the Operation Crocodile Smile, saying it would bring peace to the region.

He also said he would do everything necessary to ensure peace and security in the Niger Delta.

This is as the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, explained that the operation was introduced to train army personnel on the techniques of operating in the Niger Delta.

Wike spoke on Monday when he granted audience to Buratai and some senior army officers at the Government House, Port Harcourt.

The governor said: “The Rivers State Government is fully in support of the Operation Crocodile Smile. I was fully briefed by the Brigade Commander and we associate ourselves with the programme because it will make the Niger Delta safer.

“One of the advantages of the programme is that hoodlums in the creeks are being uprooted for a safer Niger Delta. I support the programme insofar as it is done with the constitution “.

He also said the state government would sustain its support for security agencies to create the right atmosphere for democratic governance.

The governor disclosed that the State Government had procured six new armoured personnel carriers (APC) for the Police and in the process of concluding the acquisition of 10 gunboats for the Nigerian Navy.

Earlier, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, said the Operation Crocodile Smile would ensure that the security challenges in the Niger Delta were addressed and peace enhanced.

You may be right though.

A case of saying something with the mouth and meaning something else the mind/heart.

These politicians are desperate and their desperation could make them do anything.

Trying to show good face to the Army and the people, whilst also sponsoring the militants at the same time.

So very not impossible

Wike wise man
He knew the Army would be... ask Asari o

I wish those low lives avengers mistake the smile for a kind of affection so that they can safely end up in the belly of the Nigerian Army.

Coming from a South South governor, I don't think his opinion can be contested.
As a sitting givernor and an indigene of that region, he should know what is best for his people.

Just watching the Zombies falling heads over heels over his comments. Quoted for future reference

LOBATAN The Governor has spoken and all wailers must keep mute

His business can only grow from strength to strength.

#TeamNsukabag

Wailers right now

That's how I saw this Yoruba lady on net who bought running shoes with her name inscribed on it.

On Internet, she may be part of those ridiculing Aba Made and the igbofolk in general. Why mock them if your cash will still prosper their industry efforts?
