The paramount ruler of Emohua Kingdom in Rivers State, Eze Ohna Sergeant Chidi Awuse, praised Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike as a reliable ally and leader. Awuse, who also chairs the South South Monarchs Forum, made these remarks during Wike’s Christmas visit to Rumuche Emohua in Emohua Local Government Area.
According to Awuse, the people of Emohua owe a great deal to Wike and are committed to supporting him. “We have decided that wherever you put your leg, Emohua local government will follow you,” he said. He also commended President Bola Tinubu’s performance, citing improvements in the nation’s economy, stabilization of the naira, and increased foreign reserves. As an accountant and former politician, Awuse believes Tinubu’s economic policies have yielded positive results, including a rise in external reserves to over $47 billion.
Awuse attributed the transformation of Abuja to Wike’s efforts under Tinubu’s leadership. He advised Wike to remain focused and not be distracted by criticism, noting that success inevitably attracts enemies. The traditional leader appreciated Wike’s annual visits to the area, acknowledging the support of the people and the assistance provided to those in need. “If I don’t thank you publicly, where will I say it?” Awuse said, expressing his gratitude for Wike’s consistent support.
The visit highlights the strong relationship between Wike and the people of Emohua, as well as the perceived positive impact of the current administration’s economic policies. As a key figure in the South South region, Awuse’s endorsement of Wike and Tinubu reflects the complex dynamics of Nigerian politics, where traditional leaders and government officials often interact and influence each other. The event underscores the importance of building alliances and maintaining relationships in the country’s political landscape.
