The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has described the paramount ruler of Emohua Kingdom, Eze Ohna Sergeant Chidi Awuse, as the political bulldozer of Rivers State.
Speaking on Wednesday during the commissioning of the Federal High Court Judges’ Quarters in Abuja, Wike acknowledged Awuse’s presence and highlighted his significant role in laying the foundation of his political career.
Wike noted that Awuse has since moved away from politics to take on the role of a traditional ruler. I recognize those who laid the foundation for some of us to climb to where we are today, Wike said, referring to Awuse as my dear brother, the political bulldozer of Rivers State, even though he has abandoned politics to become a traditional ruler.
The former governor of Rivers State also expressed curiosity about the origin of Awuse’s nickname, Sergeant, admitting he does not know how he acquired it.
