Responding, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike urged Christians to actively participate during the elections to ensure that the right leaders were elected.
Governor Wike said the way Nigeria was heading, it needed to be rescued and handed over to a leader that will revive it for the benefit of the people .
He said: “Nigeria is not moving well. We have to take our destiny in our hands. You know where things are going wrong and the right action to be taken “.
The governor said that Nigeria does not belong to one entity . He said Nigeria belongs to all groups and no group should play second fiddle.
He said given the opportunity of a second term, he would continue to support the Church and create avenues for more productive engagements.
Governor Wike said Rivers People must work for a new direction at the Federal Level because the current administration abandoned the state for four years.
He described the imbalance in appointments at the Federal Level as ugly. He said the recent posting of commissioners of police was one of the most ridiculous in recent times.
Prayers were said for Rivers State and the peaceful conduct of credible elections in the state.
