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.
