Governor Emmanuel in a media interaction after the meeting with Wike in Port Harcourt, said the visit was a brotherly one to share the love of the season, and not for politics purpose.

Emmanuel was cited to have said: “if it is politics, I would have told you I came in for politics. I came in to see my brother. Why are you asking me about the mission?

“I am in my brother’s house. This is not the first time, this is not the second time, and this is not the third time you are seeing me here.

“But I think this is the season of love. Within this period, you don’t actually demonstrate that love. Love not shown is love wasted. I think that is what we are trying to demonstrate.”
