Governor, Nyesom Wike on Thursday said he is not aware and does not know the reason of the presidents visit to the state.
The governor also said that the State is in peace and have no records of herdsmen attack and wondered why the president will be visiting the state. Although noted that the President has every right to visit any state in the country.
The governor suspected the Presidents visit as coming to see what has made his party the All Progressive Congress (APC) not functtioning anymore in the state but stated that the party (APC) is long dead and gone and nothing can raise it again in the state.
His words:
"I hear they say that the president is coming to our state. I have not been told the president is coming and why he is coming. He has the right to come to any state.
"Maybe the president is coming to make sure that, he will improve the fortunes of the APC that is dead in the state. Apart from Jesus Christ we don't know of anyone who has risen a dead thing.
"APC is a dead party in Rivers state. No matter how you fast and pray it will never wake up. Let nobody border his or herself that the president is coming for security reasons.
"We don't have security challenges in the state. We have never had herdsmen killings or crisis in the state, except when some criminals tried to disrupt the peace and they were checked.
"We resolved that challenge. Since the adminstration has abandoned Rivers State for three years this visit may be a blessing in disguise.
"The president may use the visit to complete the Port Harcourt International Airport, the neglected East West road, the neglected Seaports and the neglected Port Harcourt Aba road."
He said.
The Governor also reveled that the presidents visit can not be, because of armed robbers nor kidnappers noting that there is no were you will not find crime in the 36 states of the federation.
