Rivers monarch hails Wike as trusted ally, pledges Emohua’s support

The paramount ruler of Emohua Kingdom in Rivers State, Eze Ohna Awuse, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as a dependable ally and a leader worthy of support.

Awuse, who also chairs the South-South Monarchs Forum, made the remarks during Wike’s special Christmas visit to Rumuche community in Emohua Local Government Area.

The traditional ruler declared that the people of Emohua remained firmly behind the former Rivers governor, describing him as a friend and benefactor of the community. He said the local government would stand by Wike’s political decisions whenever the time comes.

According to Awuse, Emohua has benefited immensely from Wike’s leadership and support, adding that the community would not hesitate to align with him in the future.

He also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging Rivers residents to continue supporting his administration. Awuse said economic indicators showed improvements under Tinubu’s leadership, including the strengthening of the naira and growth in the country’s foreign reserves.

Drawing from his background in accounting and politics, the monarch said the nation’s external reserves had risen to over 47 billion dollars, while confidence in the naira had improved in international markets.

Awuse further commended Tinubu for appointing Wike as FCT minister, noting that Abuja had witnessed significant transformation under his leadership. He advised Wike to remain focused despite criticism, stressing that opposition often follows those making meaningful progress.

The monarch also lauded Wike for maintaining the tradition of visiting Emohua annually to appreciate the people’s support and for his interventions in addressing challenges faced by the local government.

In his response, Wike said the visit was meant to express gratitude to the people of Emohua for their continued support, particularly for President Tinubu. He urged them to sustain their backing of the administration to ensure its success.
