In a move to improve security across the communities of Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has approved the release of security stipends to traditional rulers to assist them enhance community security.

Addressing the 102nd Quarterly General Meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers on Wednesday, Governor Wike said that the security stipends will assist the traditional rulers to generate intelligence which will be forwarded to the security agencies for necessary action.

He said : “The security stipend to traditional rulers which will be disbursed to recognised traditional rulers will start from 2016. This stipend should not be used outside of gathering security intelligence.

“We shall also introduce special awards to traditional rulers who maintain peaceful communities. We believe these awards will encourage communities to take steps to improve security across the state”.

Governor Wike charged the traditional rulers to insulate themselves from partisan politics by ensuring that they remain neutral in all political matters.

He stated that being involved in politics diminishes the respect people accord to traditional rulers.

According to him : “You are custodians of customs and traditions and not custodians of politics. Your duty is to bless anyone that comes to you and not to make political pronouncements".

Speaking further, Governor Wike said that the support of traditional rulers played a key role in the achievements of his administration.

He noted that his administration has restored the dignity of traditional rulers, noting that he will continue to liaise with them to attain greater development.

In his address, the Chairman of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja, Jeki V, Amanyanabo of Opobo , commended Governor Wike for restoring the Quarterly General session of the council’s meeting. He said the last meeting was held over two years ago.

The Traditional Ruler commended the Governor Wike administration for the execution of pro-people development projects and the release of logistic support to security agencies.

Traditional Robbers sharing the loot with Wike as the Don dada! I don't think Wike would share in front of camera though but ghana-must-go would have gone round.

I guess the gods also collect bride because if the gods truly exist, they should be striking these Traditional Robbers dead right there as they collect the envelope.

What's the meaning of this?

How do you explain this?

What do we call this?

Rubbish

catch ya

VampireeM:

Wike bribes traditional rulers.... That's should be the headline

I doubt if this money will be used for the intended purpose.
How do they gather security intelligence using money?
A proper structure should have been put in place.
Can the use of this money be audited or not? In my opinion this will not change anything or improve security.
But it is my opinion.


Do WARD Counselors perform any function in the Nigerian Political set up?

Another Jonathan's Style

Wike I Pity You But No Peace for The Murderer..

VampireeM:
its so Glaring and Obvious that WIKE is DESPERATE!

He should keep calm and he might win... All these traditional rulers cant be trusted in terms of cash.. [b]He should better ask GEJ how marke[/b]t

That GEJ part thou...well, that's one thing with our politicians. They'll only take the poor serious each time they need their votes and support. Now the questions remain, with the recent up-turn of elections in Rivers state. Both Senate, Reps and Gov election, is there anything like election in Rivers State?

Wike should think twice and keep his cash for a re-run.

i just dey greet o

Tarh GEJ and PDP shot themselves in the foot..

In as much as I don't see the need for this money as it can be put into better use, I commend the governor for the great respect and defrence he has shown to royal fathers in rivers state since he entered office, unlike one bald idiot before him who's priority was insulting traditional rulers old enough to be his father because they did not support his attempts to sell the state over to this western and Northern masters.
