Wike reportedly made this declaration on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 in a quarterly general meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers.
According to a report by Leadership Newspaper, the governor said that the state government will henceforth weed out traditional rulers, who are directly involved in partisan politics.
In his words: “A traditional ruler who is an active member of a political party will not function in line with the expectations of all community residents.

The governor however promised to bless all local government areas and communities in the state with the development drive of his administration.
