The Governor of Ekiti State,
Ayodele Fayose on Saturday described Rivers State as the soul of Nigeria in view of its economic contributions to the country.
Governor Fayose said this at a thanksgiving and Supreme Court victory celebration of Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike which was organised by the Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at the Liberation  Stadium, Elekahia, Port Harcourt.
He commended the Supreme Court for being “courageous enough to clear the mess to save Rivers State from being destroyed by the desperados.”
He also accused President Muhammadu Buhari of plotting to Islamise the country. He said, “Rivers State is the soul of Nigeria and it is governed by a man who fears God. Your people will never go back to Egypt. I want to appreciate Supreme Court which was courageous enough to clear the mess.
“We have all summoned courage. They have deceived us to take our inheritance. We are going to get our inheritance back. I want to say one thing; they have started again.
“I want to reveal one secret here; they have started subtle moves to make Nigeria an Islamic nation. But God will not allow it. This was done in 1984, but it failed. I cannot run away; I am Ayo Fayose, Pete the rock. If you hit m e, you will be in trouble and if I hit you, you will be in trouble.
“Nig is a free nation and this nation will not be taken for an Islamic nation. Today, I decree the return of a PDP government in 2019. They (APC) are by chance and they will go by chance.”
In his speech, the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike expressed dismay over the killings of innocent souls in Ogoni and promised to protect the Ogoni people whom he said, have suffered a lot in the past.
The Governor assured that no politician in the state would be allowed to subvert the will and vote of the electorate during the forthcoming March 19th State and National Assembly elections.
