Wike however said emphatically that Rivers State is not a slave to the Federal Government and would continue to pursue what is right and legitimate within the ambit of the constitution.
The governor said “I have heard a lot of comments been made that we are fighting the federal government, there is no desire or any intention of the Rivers state government to fight the federal government but you must remember that in a federal system, states are not house boys of the federal government.
“That is the fundamental aspects of physical federalism and until we get it, we will continue this journey of talking and talking without result but I think that the court has a role to play, the court can lay this crises and controversy to rest when it makes a pronouncement. “Certainly not, and so for me, we need to resolve this issue through the courts and that is what Rivers state has opted to do and we encourage as many states as possible to join us in this new revival of the Nigerian federal arrangement so that we can lay some of these issues to rest.”
The right man Nigeria needs now.
