We’ll dethrone monarchs involved in politics –Wike

November 2, 2016


Chukwudi Akasike, Port Harcourt



The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has said that the state government will remove traditional rulers involved in partisan politics.



The governor, who gave the warning in Port Harcourt on Tuesday while declaring open the 104th quarterly general meeting of the state Council of Traditional Rulers, maintained that traditional rulers were expected to serve all their subjects.



He said, “We have decided to weed out all the traditional rulers that are involved in active politics from the system in the interest of the state and the communities that they are meant to serve.”


Wike promised the monarchs that the development drive of his administration would get to the local government areas of the state, saying, “No part of the state will be left behind in our quest to develop our state.”

You mean you will dethrone all those monarchs that went to abuja for talks with Bubu


Anyway, your monarchs dont have any real power. They are merely stooges. No Governor will dare talk about my traditional king like this.

Is it possible for a governor to dethrone a traditional ruler?

Wike is right but he should do it in uthmost sincerity. Traditional rulers should never show open partisanship as they are the father of all.

Of course it is.

Even the Ooni of Ife has no powers near that of the governor of Osun state...so Wike is right ......

I remember wen a supposed student of OAU was arguing that the Ooni of Ife was more powerful than the President. .. I just lost my respect for d educated illiterate
