The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that he did not publicly celebrate taking COVID-19 vaccine because it was not a project undertaken for the people of the State.
He regretted that taking the vaccine had turned to politics by some people.
The Governor stated this when the National Incident Manager Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr Mukhtar Muhammad, led a delegation to pay him a courtesy call at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
According to him: “Some people said that I did not take my vaccine. I did, but am not into public show. Taking vaccine is not undertaking any project for anybody to see that you have taken vaccine. It has turned to politics. Assuming what am taking is not the vaccine? Yes, I can pretend and then they will put it on the news that I have taken the vaccine.
“Nigerian likes to play politics in everything. They will call the press, Governor this has taken, Governor that has taken. But let them not tell you that I have not taken. I did my own in the Government House Clinic quietly. So I don’t need to begin to announce it to the world.”
He, however, applauded the PTF Chairmen, Mr. Boss Mustapha and members of his team for the good job they have done in containing the spread of COVID-19 that has kept the world on its toes.
