In the wake of outrage by MURIC and northern groups over the alleged demolition of a mosque in Rivers State by Governor Nyesom Wike's government, the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, seem to back the state's governor saying "he is ruling the state with the fear of God."
The Trans-Amadi Central Mosque located in the state capital, Port Harcourt, was allegedly demolished on Tuesday 20th August, 2019 by the Rivers State government. Although, Wike refuted the allegations.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Chief Felix Obuah explained that people of the state are happy because Wike was governing the state with the fear of God.
In a statement he signed, Obuah said: “Governor Wike is ruling the state with the fear of God, and that explains why Rivers people are happy and will remain happy with him. This clearly shows that the choice of the party in 2015 and 2019 was divine.”
He called on the people of the state to remain supportive of the governor because “it would be a good way to reciprocate Governor Wike’s good works.
“The PDP Chairman said Wike will remain dear in the hearts of Rivers people because of his humane disposition towards governance, ” he said.
Obuah said the quality of his projects in the State would go a long way in enhancing the beauty and standard of living of the people.
While lauding the Governor for his efforts to revive all critical sectors of the State economy, Obuah said Rivers people would remain eternally grateful to Wike as he strives to take the State to another level.
