Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has appealed to those he described as ‘true nationalists,’ who believe in the indivisibility of Nigeria, to rescue the country from disintegration.
He gave the charge when members of the South-South Zonal Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) visited him yesterday at Government House, Port Harcourt.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, he said it was obvious that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government has not only lost capacity to tackle rising insecurity in the country, but do not empathise with Nigerians over the killings across the country
He called on those who truly believe in the indivisibility of Nigeria to rise and work together to rescue the country from disintegration.
“APC Governors have come out to say the present APC federal government will solve the security problems. But every day, people are dying. When will they solve the problems?
“Own up and say to Nigerians, we have failed on the promises that we made to you. And honourably say, as it is done in other advanced countries, that since we cannot perform and carry out the covenant we have with Nigerians, we have decided to quit.
“Every reasonable Nigerian, every nationalist who believes in this country should come up and make sure this country moves forward, if not, it is going to affect everybody.”
