He said: "I came to Rivers to see my brother and the priest today (Nyesom Wike)." When I showed up in Rivers yesterday (Friday), I told him I came with a peace offering because he had bragged about setting fire to some states. I told him not to set fire in Oyo State.

"Let me say this on behalf of the other governors and former governors here, you have done good things for your people. Since I have been here, I have seen the projects that have been done in your eight years as governor."

Makinde commended Wike's achievements as Rivers State Governor and acknowledged the Minister's contribution to infrastructure development.

Recalled that Wike had promise to put fire in the state of Governors of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) who are allies of Governor, Sim Fubara.
