Rivers Crisis: Goodhead and others challenge Wike to enter the state
The representative for Akuku/Asari Toru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Boma Goodhead, along with fellow demonstrators, has openly dared the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to revisit Rivers State.
During a protest spearheaded by Goodhead, the group called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene and restrain the former Governor of Rivers State.

They emphatically declared their refusal to passively observe the FCT Minister’s alleged influence over Rivers State.
In a stern warning directed at Wike, the demonstrators emphasized that his return to the state, where he governed for eight years, would not be tolerated. The protesters also cautioned Wike to keep his associates under control.
“I want to send a clear message to the Federal Government of Nigeria,” stated Goodhead. “Tinubu believes that Wike delivered Rivers State to him, but even Wike failed in his unit, his ward, and even in his local government area.
“We are here to tell Ahmed Bola Tinubu to call Wike to order because the next time he comes into Rivers State to disturb the peace, we will not stand idly by. Wike should come to Rivers State, and we will show him what it means to hold Rivers State. We dare you to come back to Rivers State again if you’re a man.”
