Various stakeholders from the Kalabari Kingdom have prepared a grand reception for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
The Ijaw stakeholders under the auspices of the NEW Associates are said to be mobilising to shut down Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State, during the reception scheduled for March 15.
