“Rivers State deserves two ministerial slots as the only state in the South south to deliver the president elect through the directive and instrumentality of governor Nyesom Wike.
“Ceding the two slots to Rivers State for appointment will serve as a mark of appreciation for voting him which will serve as enforcer.
“I call on him to kindly consider and appoint Chief Barr. Nyesom Wike CON as either the Minister of Transportation or Works in his proposed government of national unity, taking into cognizance the strategic position of Rivers State in the Niger Delta Region and the country. He should also consider the deft political calculation and structure put in place by governor Wike to ensure his victory.”
