Wike confronted the rumors, questioning who was spreading them and how many there were. His comments reinforced his commitment to engaging with the Kalabari people, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration for their progress.

“Our dear chairman of the Council, our dear women and youths, let me say that God, in His infinite mercy, will continue to bless all of you. Ordinarily, I don’t like things like this. When I heard some people say I would not come here, I said I would come here, and I say this occasion must go on. Who them be and how many them dey”
