Rivers Traditional Council Pledges Support For Wike’s Preferred Candidates by blamingthedevil(op): 12:38am On Feb 21, 2023
The monarchs also cautioned politicians in the state against violent activities, warning that no political position is worth the blood of anyone in the state.

Five days to the highly anticipated presidential election, the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers have expressed their support for the preferred candidates of Governor Nyesom Wike.

The monarchs also cautioned politicians in the state against violent activities, warning that no political position is worth the blood of anyone in the state.

The position of the traditional rulers was contained in an address by their chairman, King Dandeson Douglass Jaja of Opobo at their 114th quarterly meeting attended by the governor in Port Harcourt on Monday.

Besides Wike, a regular visitor, also in attendance were his deputy, Ipalibo Harry-Banigo; and the Rivers State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Siminialayi Fubara.


The monarchs expressed their main concern being the peace of the state after the February and March elections, as they pledged their support for Wike’s preferred candidates.

Wike, addressing the council perhaps for the last time as governor, appreciated the contributions of the traditional rulers to the peace and development of the state.

He however stressed the need for the continuation of his policies, presenting the PDP governorship candidate as his choice for the best qualified to sustain his vision for the state.

Although tradition rulers are supposed to be apolitical, Wike wants them to be firm in their decision for the growth of the state.

🐖🐗🐷 will be so hurt and pained!

They think the South-South play politics of hate!

Why SS still has 99% chance of still ruling Nigeria before an Igbo man.

The SS has emancipated and only rooting for what will benefit their region! They don’t insult other tribes and are welcoming to strangers!

Go to Rivers and Bayelsa and see how our Southern brothers welcome other tribes!

Unlike our 🐷🐗🐖 with “OUR LAND” mentality! Any little thing, they start screaming “OUR LAND”

The report said they are pledging support for Wike’s preferred candidate.

No where was Tinubu mentioned.

It’s either Wike is a coward or too ashamed of his choice to announce it to the world.

The fear of Obidients is the beginning of wisdom in Rivers State.

Wike's preferred candidate is NOT Tinubu
Re: Rivers Traditional Council Pledges Support For Wike’s Preferred Candidates by Zelenskyy(m): 2:07am On Feb 21, 2023
And if they refuse to support the governor's preferred candidate...

He has threatened to dethrone them...

So they will all come out to say that they support the governor's preferred candidate and at the end...

Collect Ghana must Go of New Naira notes..

A win win situation for the "Royal Fathers" , who will still go back to their domain and tell their subjects to vote for their preferred candidates

Wike is such a bad loser

My Neighbour just committed suicide after going through this thread. We just read from the note he wrote that, he could not bare the pain of Asiwaju becoming president and that, it has dawned on him that Asiwaju will win.

He even extended his congratulatory message to Asiwaju before taking his life.




I believe it will make front page tomorrow.

ITS A LIE. COME TO RIVERS AND SEE WHATS HAPPENING, WIKE IS IN TROUBLE SINCE ANNOUNCING HIS TINUBU PREFERENCE. FUBABRA IS DRAWING BACK FROM WIKE BECAUSE HE DOESN'T TO DESTROY HIS POLITICAL AMBITION.

FUBARA IS REGRETTING WORKING WITH WIKE .

WIKE HAS DESTROYED SIMS CHANCES WITH THAT ANNOUNCEMENT..
WIKE WAS.SO SELFISH TO ANNOUNCE TIMUBU WITHOUT CONSIDERING HOW IT WOULD AFFECT SIM

RIVERS WILL NEVER EVER VOTE FOR TINUBU

THE PEOPLE ARE ALL DSYING THE SAMETHING, WIKE IS ON HIS OWN

WIKE IS SEEING THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL SO PROPAGANDA IS THE NEXT MOVE

WHICH COUNCIL OF ELDERS FOLLOWED HIM?
