Speaking at the commissioning of Chokocho-Igbodo Road in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, Wike said while others are protesting he is busy commissioning projects and making Rivers residents happy.

He said: ”While other people are demonstrating, I am commissioning projects. I have not gone to do demonstration; my own is to commission projects and make my people happy.”

Wike said he warned the leadership of the party over its insistence that northerners hold onto the presidential ticket and national chairmanship seat of the party.
