Governor Nyesom Wike has advised Rivers State voters to shun candidates and parties that do not mean well for Rivers State.
Adjudged as one of Nigeria’s most sophisticated politicians, Wike urged Rivers people to vote wisely.
The Governor’s is contained in his 2023 new year broadcast made in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
He said it was not in the character of his administration to interfere with or limit the constitutional rights of politicians and their parties.
He noted that every politician is free to hold electioneering campaigns and canvass for votes across the length and breadth of the state.
Wike however, cautioned: “But we must be reminded that the laws and regulations restricting open political activities in public schools and residential areas are being implemented to prevent the destructive tendencies and public nuisance usually associated with such events when things go wrong.
“Ours is a state governed by laws, and no person, group, party, or association has the right to disobey the laws of the state managing campaign activities in public schools and expect us to keep quiet.“
