Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike says the State will continue to be a place where every Nigerian can reside and consider as home.
Wike, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, said residents in the state must conduct their affairs within the confines of the law.
According to him, it is the place of government to provide development for its people and ensure safety of all residents.
He also said it is wrong for some residents to view government’s development policy and efforts to provide security from the prism of religion or ethnicity.
“Rivers State, for me, is a place for all Nigerians. Wherever you come from, whether you’re from the east, you’re from the north, you’re from the west or you’re from the south. Whatever, your religion, is immaterial to me. All of us are Nigerians and we do things in common.
“The only thing I have always crave for is law and order. For people to understand that no society can progress without behaving orderly, without obeying the law. When you have a lawless society with no security, you can imagine the kind of state it’ll be,” Wike said.
