He said, “On behalf of our people, we are apologising to you for what our son is doing to you. We are sorry. We are sorry o because it is not in our nature to pay evil for good. You have done well for us, and we will continue to say, thank you.
“Your excellency, do not because of this bad behaviour of our son, run away from us. Continue to be our brother. Continue to have us in mind.
“We have never set our feet on the number one seat of Rivers State. You made it possible for us to become the governor of Rivers State.”
The Chairman of the Elders Forum of the PDP in Rivers State, Ferdinand Anabraba, also addressed the issue, stating that the Ijaw people would not forget Nyesom Wike’s contributions.
He emphasized that Wike’s impact on the Ijaw nationality would be remembered and appreciated, despite the ongoing political tensions.
“The aberration we are seeing in the administration of Rivers State is only a demonstration of lack of political discharge of an individual, and by no means the opinion of Ijaw people.
“We the Ijaw see you as the light of Rivers State. you are indeed a notable strategist in the contemporary politics of Nigeria. and without doubt, you are the most celebrated Ijaw politician of national recognition.”
