Governor Nyesom Wike’s claim is baseless, he allegedly said that if president Buhari declares his intention to contest for the presidency in 2019, there would be Tsunami in the country. He was comparing it to what happened during the legislative re-run in Port Harcourt (Rivers state) where thousands of well trained troops were allegedly sent to the state to guide against any form of election violence that would come. We (Viewers Corner News team) want to remind governor Nyesom Wike that if the people of Rivers state had conducted themselves nicely, there would have been no need for the federal government of Nigeria sending troops there but because of violence which Rivers state has been known for, that was why such action was taken. Therefore in our (Viewers Corner News team) opinion, it was very appropriate. We would use this opportunity to inform and plead with governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state that democracy is the best form of government in any country that wish to follow this process. It should not be seen as a do or die affair like we have always seen in Rivers state where cultist are allegedly employed to carry out attacks on innocent people of the state. Again if you contest and lose an election, what you need to do is try and identify what made you lost the election and strategize by working on those mistakes that made you lost the election. If that aspect is overcome, then you can contest again. This is a continuous process and at the end victory may come your way rather than introducing actions that may lead to loss of innocent lives as it has always been in Rivers state. Now that you (Nyesom Wike) are the governor of the state (Rivers state), please re-position your state in a more peaceful manner so that in 2019, there would be a free and fair election in the state because if that is not done, then you would have to expect more thousands of well trained troops to come to your state (Rivers state). In a democratic system of government, if the rules are broken and violence arises then the federal government would have no choice than sending troops to control the violence, this is allowed in a democratic government. We hope that in 2019, there would be no violence in your state (Rivers state), please Nyesom Wike work hard to create a better image for Rivers state because this is part of your responsibility as a governor. Let there be no violence or killings of innocent people in the state (Rivers state).
