Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, says the time has come for the restructuring of Nigeria, saying that it is an inevitable fate a country cannot run away from.
Speaking when he played host to members of the Tiv community in the state, Wike said the restructuring of the country will not only correct all wrongs but also give minority ethnic groups who have been marginalized for so long a stronger voice in the affairs of the country.
The relations between the Tiv people of Benue state and their Ikwerre brothers and sisters in Rivers state dates several years back with the two minority ethnic groups enjoying and maintaining a very healthy relationship.
Friday’s visit by the Tiv people resident in Rivers state further seeks to cement the ties.

Governor Wike said his administration will continue to promote a healthy relationship among all minority ethnic groups in the country.
Coming back home, governor Nyesom Wike asked the Ogbako Ikwerre cultural organization worldwide, the umbrella body of Ikwerre people to prevail on the people of Ogbunabali in Port Harcourt to allow for the dualization of the Ogbunabali road saying that the project would be in their own interest.
