The Governor further admonished Ndi Igbo in Rivers State and every other place to “stick to our age-long tradition of hard work, industry and the penchant for contributing meaningfully to the development of our host communities”, promising the people that “we will continue to pursue the protection of their lives and property wherever they are through constant consultations and dialogues with relevant authorities”.

Below are details of the Governor’s tweets:

“The meeting between leaders of the South East and the Governor and leaders of Rivers State in Port Harcourt yesterday was quite successful. We are satisfied with the assurances of Governor Nyesom Wike that Ndi Igbo and their investments in Rivers State are safe. According to Ikpeazu, Wike urged Ndi Igbo to remain law-abiding and go about their businesses without fear or anxiety.

“This, therefore, becomes an auspicious moment to remind our people of our socio-cultural and economic affiliations with our brothers from Rivers State.
