Who is bankrolling him

When you don't have anything sensible to say, it's best to remain silent.


There's a reason why it is called "Condolence visit"

He should be careful around those Ipob terrorists

We don't need ur visit

I don't understand what you guys are talking about... Rivers people are very impressed with the way Wike handled the Oyigbo issue..he was decisive and the madness from ipob was nipped in the bud.

If you want to apportion blame direct it squarely at Nnamdi Kalu that instructed his brainwashed followers to attack and kill security operatives in Rivers state. Following his broadcast prior to the melee in the town.

We dont condone terrorism is Rivers state and ipob propaganda against the state governor is nothing but hogwash to stoke public sympathy ....Wike does not control the military neither did he instruct them to do any other thing but flush out the ipob terrorists and that they did.

Are you aware that Oyigbo is now clear of those miscreants with the flags they hoisted all over the place abi_intio.

Wayo man die wayo man bury am.



make the dead rest in peace
