The Coalition berated those urging the present Minister of state Nyesom Wike to run for governor stressing that Rivers people need a governor that is not of Ikwerre extraction. “What Rivers people expect in 2015 as far as the governorship of the state is concerned is not a governor of Ikwerre extraction. We will not fold our hands and allow such impunity to be foisted on us. As a heterogeneous state, we demand that the various political factors be considered and in this case, the upland and riverine factor which is important for justice and fair play” the statement added.
