He said it is uncharitable for a political party to play politics with the security in the state by claiming that victims of cult-related violence as their members, simply because they want to gain political mileage.
Speaking at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Wednesday, March 9 when he received the new Managing Director of Total E and P Nigerian Limited, Mr Nicholas Terraz, Governor Wike said : "We are doing everything in partnership with the security agencies to resolve the cult related security challenges in some communities in the state.
"Kidnapping is a national issue, but the reportage on the situation in Rivers State is over-blown. What we have in Rivers State is cult -related violence which the government and security agencies are resolving. Those who beheaded members of a family in Omoku have been arrested and they are cultists,"
"If any casualties occur during the cult-related violence, a particular political party claims the victim as their member. I wonder why a political party because of politics will claim cultists as their members? "
He assured business concerns in the state that his administration will continue to create a secure environment for the development of the state.
"We are committed to protecting lives and property across the state. We are building a friendly environment for investors to come and invest in the state " he added

...merited happiness
So grown men with children are now active cult members? I ain't buying this story.
Do You Have Problems Lasting Long In Bed?
Cultism is thriving in our nation because politicians use them during elections and when the elections are over the cultists now must find a way to remain relevant
Ok
Alright
As of you didn't use them during elections.
Wike the liar - the beheaded man was a known APC member - he was in fact the Ward 4 chairman of the party in ONELGA. How come in the case of Yege, the military exercise was termed political while the clear case of murder of APC members are now being termed cult-related? Who are the sponsors and financiers of these so-called 'cult groups'?
He has started with his talk talk! Linda take note!
