 BROTHER SIM VS UNCLE WIKE 🙄😡 Some policemen in Rivers state, who are Wike loyalist, reportedly sprayed water and teargas on Governor Sim's convoy  due do some squabble between the duo. This is outright bullshit! What a nonsensical behavior on the part of the police. No matter what, he is still the sitting Governor of the state. At least accord him some respect. Our Oga in Abuja should call his boys to order. He should 'focus on his focus and work his work ' There's a big difference between Fct and Rivers state. 'The journey sef far'🥰 Portharcout/Rivers state have been peaceful for a long while, we don't need this political mesmerization. They should better go to their backyard and settle their matter, we don't need this kind of drama. Nollywood have been helping us with enough drama already.🤼 #prisca# #sweetmotherhood#
