Gokana is a \u2018no-go area\u2019 for anybody, even Governor Fubara. For him to win anything in Gokana, he must pass through Wike,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Magnus Abe, former senator representing Rivers South-East, reaffirmed his support for Wike, praising his ability to unite people. \u201cWike is a leader that unites, and that is why we are united. If you follow Wike, you will not go home empty-handed. The Ogoni people are with you. Please tell Tinubu not to bother coming to Gokana to campaign. We are for him,\u201d Abe said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Dumle Maol, assured Wike that the people of Gokana would back him at every turn.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u201cAnywhere you go, we will go,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly, Gokana LGA Chairman, Mr. Confidence Deko, pledged full support to the minister, noting the community\u2019s appreciation for his contributions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis local government is for you because of what you have done for us.
