This statement is coming as a result of fed govt saying that state governors doesn’t have power over some things they do.
Now Gov Wike sent his response to fed govt.
“I have no regret demolishing those Hotels. There will always be all sides of a story. Alot of people view things from the angle of emotions without verification. These people were told to shutdown their hotels and they wanted to know what I will do, and indeed they got it. If the number of COVID 19 increase in Rivers State, who will bail the cat? Will Federal government assist us? Obviously no, because I tell them the truth at all times.
“When El Rufai was busy destroying properties in Abuja did you hear anyone condemn him? Now it’s Wike those from Rivers State here who think they have connections to Abuja are showcasing muscles. Here in Rivers State I am in charge. I will not disobey Federal Government constitutionally but they cannot decide for us what will happen in Rivers State. Rivers State is not Imo State”
