Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, at the weekend pleaded with the Emir of Bauchi, Dr. Rilwanu Suleimanu Adamu, not to hesitate in assisting the state governor to be on the right track so as to further deliver dividends of democracy to the people of the state.

 

Wike made the plea when he paid a courtesy visit to the Emir at his palace, accompanied by Governor Bala Mohammed. Wike observed that politicians deserved support and advice from critical stakeholders, especially traditional rulers, to enable them deliver good governance.

 

He said: “Your Royal Highness, today I am in Bauchi because of my respect for my friend and colleague, the Bauchi State Governor. For me as a person, today is my second term for coming to Bauchi.” He continued; “Bauchi Emir is one of the respected traditional rulers in the country and please don’t hesitate to call us to order, because we politicians, we have so much pressure on us. I plead with you to assist the governor to be on the right track.”

Also speaking at the occasion, Governor Mohammed described Governor Wike as one of the best performing governors, especially in deepening democracy and working in the interest of his people.
