Wike called on all stakeholders in Rivers State to work together harmoniously in the collective interest of the state and its people.

The minister, who cautioned troublemakers, especially fifth columnists who are always seeking to benefit from crisis to stay away from the state, added: “From Rivers State going forward, the only news that will emanate will be that of peace, progress, and development.”
