Governor Nyesom Wike says the state is not fighting the federal government or any of its agencies over the collection of Value Added Tax, VAT, as being insinuated in some quarters.
Governor Wike who made this known at a public lecture in Abuja yesterday said the state was only trying to pursue what was right and legitimate within the ambits of the constitution.
The governor who was represented by the Attorney-General of the State, Zacchaeus Adangor, said Rivers State and the federal government are co-equal because they both derive their powers from the constitution.
