Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, says he has no personal problem with Rotimi Amaechi, his predecessor, saying both of them differed politically because they belonged to different parties.
Wike said Amaechi was his boss, and they had good times serving the state.
He disclosed this at the 12 All Nigeria Editors Conference holding in Port Harcourt.
“There is nothing personal. We differ politically because we belong to different political politics,” he said.

“We want peace in the state and it is my desire to ensure that the state is peaceful.”
Wike also said former President Goodluck Jonathan did something special to ensure peace in the country by conceding defeat during the 2015 general election.
“Jonathan should be commended for this single act. People should emulate this move to ensure peace in the country,” he said.

“We should make sacrifices for peace. The state must move on. We only differ politically and that should not be to the level that will destroy the state,” he said.
Wike also emphasised the need for peace and unity in the country, urging Nigerians not to compromise that stand.
