In other news, Governor Nyesom Wike's defense for the unity of Nigeria, has met very strong opposition in the Niger Delta.

On Monday, January 2, 3 civil society organizations in the Niger Delta, disagreed with the Rivers state governor, on his recent statement that the unity of the country was not negotiable.

The groups claim that Wike's unconditional support for the unity and indivisibility of a defective federal structure, favours only a section of the country, a development which is totally unacceptable.
