In order to promote their political ambitions for 2023, certain misguided politicians have reportedly begun recruiting cults, ex-offenders, and thugs, according to intelligence reports collected by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
The governor claimed that the state government is aware of hotel and entertainment facility owners who are in the process of renting out their properties to politicians and political parties as a convenient base for the assembling of these political thugs throughout the State.
In a state broadcast on Sunday, Governor Wike stressed that the state government does not take the intelligence reports at its disposal lightly. As a result, no politician, regardless of his previous or current position, will be given the chance or opportunity to disturb the current peace and security in Rivers.

“Similarly, we will not allow any political party, be it the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party or the Social Democratic Party to threaten the safety and security of lives and property during the campaigns with mayhem, thuggery or violence.
“Accordingly, we have already alerted and set the security agencies on the trail of these misguided politicians and leaders of political parties and stop them in their tracks with the full weight of the law.
“We also wish to warn owners of hotels and proprietors of relaxation centres to take notice and desist from releasing their facilities for politicians and party leaders to use to meet and plot against the peace, safety and security of our state.”
The governor issued a warning that the state government would demolish hotels and other leisure facilities that were connected to such nefarious political activities.
