<\/p>\nWike said his administration remained committed to the legal use of the people\u2019s mandate to advance the course of development.<\/p>\n
The Governor spoke during the commissioning of Anaka multi-million naira multi-purpose community hall Ogbogoro town on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Wike was represented by his Chief of Staff, Engr Chukwuemeka Woke.<\/p>\n
He called on people of the state to remain peaceful and calm despite the provocative actions against their interest.<\/p>\n
Wike said the recent invasion of the Rivers State Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency training camp by the Army was done in bad faith.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe Rivers State House of Assembly passed a bill establishing Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Governor of Rivers state signed that bill and it became a law of the state. If anybody or any organization or institution has anything against that law, what is natural, is to go to Court of law and challenge that law.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are aware and have seen the level of provocation by federal agencies. Only last week, they invaded the training camp of the Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we are urging Rivers people to remain firm and strong. I tell you as far as Rivers state is concerned, we cannot be intimidated. No amount of federal might can intimidate us.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank you again for the peaceful atmosphere that we witnessed here since the week-long celebration. It shows that this community is in peace and everybody is living in peace.<\/p>\n
\u201d There cannot be any meaningful development in any community where there is no peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me also thank the youths of this community because I am aware that this project would have not come to this stage of commissioning , if the youths did not maintain peace in this community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI urge other communities in Ikwere ethnic nationality and indeed Rivers state at large to emulate the conduct of Anaka community.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
