Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has promised to donate eleven armoured gunboats to the Nigerian Army.
Wike, said this when the Chief of Army Staff, Lt..Gen. Farouk Yahaya paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Port Harcourt.
He said Nigeria must be protected against all forms of secessionist agitations no matter what.
The governor, urged the new Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Farouk Yahaya, not to allow his officers abandon their professional duties and get involved in partisan politics.
He noted that security suffers a major setback whenever they do.
“I don’t understand why we cannot remove politics from our jobs. Let’s do our jobs and keep the country going. I can tell you that I’m willing and ready to work with all the security agencies, not only the army,” he said.
