It is an autonomous State. Nobody in other States can come and tell us that we are with them, No! I will not allow anybody to enter this State to tell us that we are part of them. We will do everything we can to protect the interest\u00a0of our State.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are a friendly people. We will allow anybody to come here and do business. But nobody should go beyond doing business, to hoist any unnecessary\u00a0flag here. We will not take it,&#8221; he declared.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time that Governor Wike has pronounced this warning\u00a0against actual or perceived separatists, who have periodically<br \/>\nattempted to clandestinely annex specific parts of the state. But the declaration\u00a0has become more fervent, against the backdrop of recent<br \/>\nincidents of heightened insecurity, especially across the Southern parts of\u00a0the country and the acerbic threats and incendiary verbal brickbats<br \/>\nbetween regional strongholds.<\/p>\n<p>Rivers people will recall that as recently as October 2020, some hoodlums\u00a0 suddenly infiltrated and hijacked the #EndSARS protest which had been relatively peaceful in Rivers state and under the guise of the protest, unleashed an orgy of mayhem and devastation, which led to the<br \/>\nkilling of six Soldiers and four Policemen.<\/p>\n<p>They also destroyed all the Police stations, burnt all the courts in Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state, hoisted the flag of a proscribed group in a primary school and attempted to rename the Local Government\u00a0Area.<\/p>\n<p>This action was allegedly carried out by the separatist Indigenous Peoples\u00a0of Biafra (IPOB). The\u00a0 State Government, working on the advise<br \/>\nof the State Security Council imposed a 24 hours curfew on Oyigbo, as well\u00a0as some parts of Port Harcourt municipality, which had been<br \/>\nidentified as potential flash points.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Wike\u00a0 subsequently signed an Executive Order re-proscribing the activities\u00a0of IPOB, which had earlier been classified as a terrorist<br \/>\norganization by the Federal Government and proscribed by a Federal High Court.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing a meeting with all the 23 Local Government Chairmen, Community Development Committees and youths leaders in Government House,in Port Harcourt on Monday, October 23, 2020, Governor Wike had warned that any council chairman who allowed IPOB to hold processions and hoist its\u00a0flag within their jurisdiction in Rivers State, risked sack.<\/p>\n<p>Describing Rivers state as the most accommodating state for all Nigerians, Governor Wike stated that there had never been any historical incident of different ethnic groups clashing in the State as had been the\u00a0witnessed in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>He maintained that the people of Rivers State believe in the unity of the country, but can never be annexed to any State because it is geographically\u00a0and constitutionally in the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n<p>Clarifying the issue further in a live television programme on Monday November 2, 2020, Governor Wike said: &#8220;I know that this is not the firsttime IPOB has used Oyigbo as launching ground. The security agencies are aware. IPOB added a new dimension this time. They killed six Army officers and burnt one. They killed four Police Officers. They destroyedall the Police stations and court buildings. What offence did we commit as\u00a0a state?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I imposed curfew to restore calm. I proscribed IPOB activities anywhere in\u00a0the state. Don&#8217;t forget that the Federal Government had declared them<br \/>\na terrorist group. It is not the entire Igbo that believe in IPOB activities. I will not fold my arms and watch criminals destroy my State.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They made attempts to rename a local government in my state and hoist its flag in a public school in Komkom Town. That alone is a signal. I will not agree to that. I know who is doing all these; who has told them to rise, protest against Wike,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>It is on record that on May 27th, 1967, under the administration of General Yakubu Gowon, Decree No. 14 was issued, which led to the creation\u00a0of Rivers State.<\/p>\n<p>There have been numerous accounts of the intrigues and strategic manouvres that galvanized and stoked the agitation and creation of Rivers\u00a0State, including the very seminal essay titled:\u00a0 &#8220;The Original History of the creation of Rivers State&#8221;, by the distinguished historian, Chief E. D. W. Opuogulaya, as well as the very graphic, detailed and poignantly anecdotal article titled: &#8220;The struggle for the creation of Rivers State \u2013 The real story,&#8221;\u00a0 by the widely travelled, diplomat extraordinare, now octogenarian, Lady Ella Prest, amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>All these are of course recommended reading, especially for those who nurse separatists intentions and would rather believe naively, that they could just arrogantly exploit the historical and traditional characteristics\u00a0and attributes of the Rivers peoples, who are by nature<br \/>\nmost accommodating, friendly and hospitable.<\/p>\n<p>To hoist a flag or annex any part of the State\u00a0 will never happen when a brave, courageous, firm and determined leader like Governor Wike, who is<br \/>\npassionately and completely Rivers, is on the saddle.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say that since the creation of the State in 1967, Rivers State\u00a0has not only remained an integral part of the Nigerian nation, but<br \/>\nhas maintained its historical and cultural homogeneity, manifested progressively in traditional strongholds, with proud, sophisticated and confident\u00a0yet accommodating authority between and amongst its indigenes<br \/>\nand residents.<\/p>\n<p>It is important therefore, to inform\u00a0 those pursuing a separatist agenda, that there is a well recognized and legitimately accepted process, both universally and within the constitutional\/gazzetted decree provisions\u00a0of individual countries, for the emergence of new nations and<br \/>\nthe creation of new States.<\/p>\n<p>Nigeria, as a nation emerged through that process and Rivers State was created\u00a0by the legitimate provisions that defined the administration of<br \/>\nthe period.<\/p>\n<p>Even the creation of Bayelsa State out of the old Rivers State, by the military\u00a0government of late General Sani Abacha, on October 1, 1996,<br \/>\nfollowed the same legitimate processes that have defined the creation of the other states in the country.<\/p>\n<p>As far as Governor Wike remains the Governor of Rivers State, no surreptitiously misplaced attempt of separatist fervor nor an ill-advised\u00a0and ill-intentioned flag hoisting with the vile and naive<br \/>\nintent of annexing any part of Rivers State, will see the light of day.<\/p>\n<p>No attempt to subvert the laid down constitutional identity of the Nigeria nation as one united, indivisible entity will even diminish thetrue quintessence of the fundamental, irrevocable Rivers essence.<\/p>\n<p>Governor\u00a0 Wike&#8217;s advise to the Ekpeye chiefs and opinion leaders who paid\u00a0him a courtesy in Government House, to be vigilant to know what<br \/>\nhappens around\u00a0 their communities and also to report suspicious characters, is not only germane at this critical time in our evolution as\u00a0a nation, but resonates loudly as a clarion call directed to all<br \/>\nRivers people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nigeria has collapsed. Security has also collapsed. There is no day you won&#8217;t\u00a0hear ten people have been killed, 20 people have been killed, 30<br \/>\nhave been kidnapped. There is no assurance of protection of life anymore. You owe it now to yourselves to protect your life. Be vigilant,&#8221; he urged Rivers people emphatically.<\/p>\n<p>Nsirim is the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Rivers<br \/>\nState<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paulinus Nsirim On Tuesday, May 4th, 2021, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike re-emphaszied the declaration that no separatists, whether individuals or groups, will be allowed\u00a0to annex Rivers State under his&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":80442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
