Why Wike Threatened To Dethrone Traditional Rulers

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has issued a dire threat to traditional rulers in the state.

Wike threatened to dethrone any traditional ruler working against his plan to bring prosperity to Rivers State.

The Governor declared that “I cannot bring development to this place and criminality will be on the increase. We want companies to come to Ahoada, but how will you get employment without companies?

“Everyday, you cry of unemployment when the few companies that have come, you’ll not allow them to stay. You and your traditional rulers will chase them away with your demands.

“You even sell chances of employing your own people. Woe betide that traditional ruler that I will catch one day, that is selling what belongs to (his) your people because you want to collect money, I will dethrone that traditional ruler that day.”

Wike who is the most visible Governor of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) issued the threat yesterday, Tuesday, June 3, 2021, at the inauguration of construction work at the Ahoada Campus of Rivers State University, and the dualization of Ahoada- Omoku Road in Ahoada town.
