Wike, who disclosed this at the 12 All
Nigeria Editors Conference holding in Port Harcourt, insisted they want
peace for the state.
The governor explained that he and the
Minister of Transportation differed politically because they belonged to
different parties.
“There is nothing personal. We differ politically because we belong to different political politics.
“We want peace in the state and it is my desire to ensure that the state is peaceful,” he said. Wike also said that former president
Goodluck Jonathan did something special to ensure peace in the country
by conceding defeat during the 2015 general election.
“Jonathan should be commended for this
single act. People should emulate this move to ensure peace in the
country,” the governor said.
According to Wike, Amaechi was his boss as governor and they had good times serving the state. “We should make sacrifices for peace.
The state must move on. We only differ politically and that should not
be to the level that will destroy the state,” he said. Wike also stressed the need for peace and unity in the country, urging Nigerians not to compromise that stand.
