The governor made the call when he hosted the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr William Symington, the governor’s Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Mr Simeon Nwakaudu, said in a statement.
He explained that Rivers people wanted true federalism because they wanted a country where all the federating units were allowed to develop according to their resources.
“We are clamouring for true federalism, when you talk of true federalism, they think you don’t want to be part of the country.
“We talk about true federalism as practised in America, a true presidential system where all the federating units will be allowed to enjoy their resources and contribute to the centre,” Wike said.
He said the people believed that there must be a country called Nigeria in which everyone would work together to achieve unity and progress.
“Forget about the media propaganda, this state is an opposition state, therefore don’t expect them to say it is the best.
“But we are the best state, we are doing everything to ensure that investors do profitable business under the ambit of the law,” the governor said.
