heightening injustice by the Federal Government is negatively
affecting the unity of the country.
He also berated the Federal Government for engineering insecurity in
Rivers State through the use of pliant security agencies to
manipulate the security infrastructure of the state.
He spoke on Tuesday at the Government House, Port Harcourt when he
granted audience to the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide,
Dr John Nwodo and the executives of the association.

It is unfortunate that security agencies are sent to plant insecurity
in our state.”

unity of the country, but warned against impunity on the part of
agencies of the Federal Government.

country.
On the development programmes of his administration, Governor Wike

for the restructuring of the country to give every section a sense
of belonging.
