He said: “Ekpeye Kingdom is a big ethnic group, and you must be relevant in Rivers State. You can only be relevant when you speak in unity.”
The governor noted that once Ekpeye politicians work in unity, they will be able to attract projects for the good of their people.

In his welcome address, President General of Uzugbani Ekpeye, Dr Ikechukwu Obuzor expressed happiness with the reconciliation of Ekpeye cultural organisations that gave rise to one cultural fiesta.
In his remarks, chairman of the occasion, Eze Friday Eze lauded Wike for his commitment to the development of Ekpeye land.
Also speaking, President of Ekpeye Youth Congress, Ogboda Umeda said that Ekpeye youth had resolved to support the re-election of Wike in 2019 because of his numerous projects in the area.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
