National leaders hail Wike as more projects come on stream

One-year anniversary celebrations are over but more national leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have continued to flock to Rivers State to commission more road projects and heap praises on Governor Nyesom Wike.

On June 10 and 11, the Wike administration again churned out key road projects in suburbs hitherto not motorable. These two roads were commissioned by the Caretaker Committee chairman of the PDP, Ahmed Makarfi, and former Senate president, David Mark.

The media aide to the governor, Simeon Nwakaudu, said while Makarfi commissioned the Eze Dr Frank Eke Road (former Woji Town Road) in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on 10th June, 2016, Mark commissioned the 8.1-kilometre Ozuoba-Ogbogoro-Rumuolumeni road on 11th June, 2016.

He said both leaders assessed Governor Wike in line with the current reality across the country, concluding that he has lived up to the expectations of  the people  by judiciously  applying state resources and improving the living condition  of  the  people.

Makarfi declared that Gov Wike had proved to be an outstanding governor who churns out projects, pays salaries and pensions, when other states are failing.

The National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the PDP said that if elections were conducted one million times in the state, Wike would emerge victorious because of his pro-people leadership.

Mark, on his own part, commended Wike for being an  agent of genuine development  for the people of the state, while commissioning  the 8-1 kilometre  Ozuoba-Ogbogoro-Rumuolumeni road in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Saturday. He described the governor as agent of “true change” who has improved the living condition of the  people by his delivery  of democracy  dividends.

Also, international musicians  and  comedians who have  been  privileged  to stay in Rivers State at one time  in their lives are also singing the praises of the governor for transforming  the  infrastructure  of Rivers State. 

At the 12th Africa Movie Academy Awards, AMAA, in Port Harcourt on June 11, popular musician, Harry Song and ace comedian, Arinze Baba, both former residents of Diobu suburb, joined other Nigerians to celebrate  the reconstruction  of  the  neglected roads of Diobu.

Prominent Ogoni leaders have also joined in the hailing as the secretary to  the Rivers State Government,  Kenneth Kobani,  the Commissioner for Finance,  Fred Kpakol and Dum Dekor said they were happy that the governor  fulfilled his promise to dualise the Sakpwenwa-Bori road.

Nwakaudu said Gov Wike  has  already  started  his second year  in  office  on a high  note, working round the clock to deliver  ongoing projects, while pledging to diversify  his administration’s  interventions  to cover the critical  sectors of health and education.  “He has continued his regular  inspection  of  projects. Rivers people  are assured of the best going forward”, he stated.
