Nigerians on social media have taken to their handles to react after recent photos of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike emerged on the internet.
These persons are expressing worry over the health situation of Wike, they say he looks sick.
Governor Nyesom Wike hosted former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, Peter Obi, others in Port Harcourt for Bishop Mattew Kukah’s book presentation.
Witness To Reconciliation
The book by the the Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese was titled “Witness to Reconciliation: My Personal Journey Towards Reconciliation in Ogoni Land.”
The presentation took place at the Obi Wali International Conference Centre in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Wike spoke at the event, he urged Ogoni to embrace the spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness.
The governor, pointed out that the incidences that culminated in the lost of lives in Ogoniland in the 1990s, which later precipitated the setting up of the Justice Oputa panel by the President Olusegun Obasanjo administration, remain painful.
“It behoves on us to know that it is for the interest of ogoni people to allow peace to prevail in Ogoniland.
There is nobody that will lose even if it is a chicken that it will not be painful.
We agree, but for how many years now, where are we?”
From Bad To Worse
Governor Wike regretted that efforts aimed at fostering peace in Ogoniland by the likes of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Rivers State governor, Dr. Peter Odili and others, have been pathetically frustrated by Ogonis themselves.
“You know every effort made to achieve peace, there is always one faction here that will come against this.
You put this other effort, this other people will come from this place and make sure there is no peace.
“Accusation and counter accusation. Blackmail and all kind of things, at the end of the day, who is losing?
We must tell ourselves the truth that we need peace in Ogoniland in order to move the Ogoni people forward.”
