He called on the people of Rivers State to re-dedicate themselves to the service of the state as they reflect on the ideals of Good Friday and Easter Celebration.

Wike assured the people of Rivers State that he would continue to make sacrifices for the state and Nigeria as a whole, defend her interests and ensure that the people always enjoy good governance as he thanked them for their great support.
