It also restated Wike’s determination “to ensure peace and security for rapid growth’’ of Rivers.

“The state is uppermost on our minds.  We will do everything possible to promote the peace of the state.
“We thank God that all the political tension is behind us. You cannot govern a state when it is not peaceful.
