Senator Sekibo further emphasized that the caucus, had been impressed with the efforts and commitment of His Excellency Gov Wike in the handling of the hijacked peaceful End SARS Protest in the State.
He thanked Gov Wike for ensuring that the End SARS Protest was peaceful, but the enemies of the State who are masquerading as the IPOB Group hijacked the peaceful Protest and caused mayhem in the State.
As a result of the hijacked peaceful End SARS Protest in the State, several lives of innocent individuals and properties were lost, especially in Oyigbo, Obio Akpor, Port Harcourt and Eleme Local Government Areas of the State.
Governor Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, in his response to the speech of Senator Sekibo, lauded the caucus for the solidarity visit and reaffirmed that he would continue to do all that is required to protect and defend his State.
