Wike: Politics of religion must stop — campaigns should focus on performance | TheCable
According to a statement by Kelvin Ebiri, special assistant on media to the governor, Wike spoke on Thursday when he hosted Okon Effiong, the new Rivers commissioner of police, in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
“We believe we owe this country and we must also stop this politics of religion so that we don’t instigate crisis and violence. You must go and tell the people what you can do, what we can offer,” he said.“For me, there cannot be any good governance without the protection of life and property. Nobody can talk about good governance when there is insecurity everywhere.
“So, it is key that you owe your citizens the protection of their lives and property. And so, for us as a government, that is the sole aim of being in government.”The governor also urged the new commissioner to avoid associating with politics and work towards ensuring peaceful conduct of elections in the state.
