Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has stated that Nigeria is bleeding profusely and the only way to stop the bleeding is to vote out the APC Federal Government in 2019.
He said that the current administration is allowing bloodletting to continue unhindered, a situation which has led to God being angry with the country.

He said the Gubernatorial Liaison Officers will serve as his direct representatives in all communities of state for the purpose of generating quality information for good governance.
The governor added that the liaison officers will also be saddled with the responsibility of propagating government policies in all communities.
“All the Local Government Areas must have functional offices where people will interact with the State Government through the liaison officers.
“The Liaison Officers will collate information. They should hold regular meetings with community leaders and other stakeholders “, he said.
