The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has declared that with elections effectively over across the country, the focus should be on governance for the good of Nigerians.
Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, at the Government House Port Harcourt on Monday, Governor Wike said that politics should now be de-emphasized.
“Politics has come and gone. We have won the election here, they have lost. But they have won in other places. Politics has ended and we are now talking about governance.” The governor said.

Wike also decried the situation where Corps Members device different schemes to ensure that they are posted back to their home state.
He said: “We should try and discourage the idea that you must serve in your state. That is not the essence of the NYSC Scheme.”
He assured that the Rivers State Government would continue to promote the welfare of Corps Members serving in the state.
“For the corps members posted here to serve our state, it is our responsibility to take care of their welfare because, they are working for the benefit of Rivers State “, he said.
