Rivers safer than Lagos, Kaduna, Kogi, Benue where kidnappers terrorize – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says the state was safer than Lagos, Kogi, Kaduna, Kano and Benue States.
He stated that kidnappers and murderers ravage communities on a daily basis in the states he mentioned.

The governor said this Saturday night at an event to mark the 20th Anniversary of Air France flying into Port Harcourt International Airport,
Wike noted that Rivers was becoming safer because of the investments of his administration in the maintenance of security.

He assured that his government would work harder to build on investors’ confidence to do business in Rivers.

Wike further lambasted opposition leaders engaging in negative propaganda against Rivers despite being one of the safest states in Nigeria.

“Investors are coming to Rivers regularly and they are talking about insecurity. Look at what is happening in Lagos, Kogi, Kaduna, Benue and Kano States and you will realise that this state is the safest,” he declared.
