I am a village man and grassroot politician, no man can kill me - Governor Wike boasts

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that before anyone could kill him, such a person must have killed so many people. He revealed this while stating that the government and people of the state will stand with the six policemen illegally dismissed by the Police High Command for political reasons because they committed no crime known to law.

The policemen attached to the security team of the Governor were dismissed from the force over allegation of causing chaos during the December 10 legislative re-run election in the state. 
The governor noted that the government and people of Rivers State will pursue the matter through laid down legal processes to its logical conclusion. 
He spoke on Saturday in Ahoada East Local Government Area during the defection of Former APC Chieftain and Former Ahoada East Local Government Chairman, Mr Cassidy Ikegbidi.

"They gave me policemen for my protection, but before I knew it, they have dismissed them. They think they are punishing them , but Rivers State will stand with them forever. By the time we finish, they will realise that they have favoured the so-called dismissed policemen. In Rivers State, we don't abandon people. No amount of intimidation, will make me abandon these innocent policemen ".

Governor Wike added: " The Policemen committed no offence. Simply because they followed their boss, they said they should be dismissed. They want to discourage policemen from protecting me. For me, I am not worried. I am a village man and a grassroots politician. Before you kill me, you would have killed so many people ".
He said that Rivers PDP is on ground in the state because it delivers projects to the people .
The governor noted that Rivers people will continue to protect their votes despite the evil machinations of the APC. 

"Nobody will intimidate me to change my mind. If you like bug my phone. As far as I will never plan coup, I will never be afraid. A man with the people will never beg those who are bent on intimidating us.
"The blood pressure of APC leaders is extremely high. I will continue to make their blood pressure grow higher. From now on, I have changed my name from high tension to Mr Project. "
