Bizman Wants Wike To Leave Legacy For Rivers People

As  the Rivers State Gov
ernor, Barrister Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike,  received the mantle  of leadership, a Port Harcourt-based  businessman, Mr.  Azubuike Nwakama has  advised him not to think of how to amass wealth but should concentrate on leaving a legacy for people to see.
Nwakama, who gave the advice during an interview with The Tide in Port Harcourt urged Barrister Wike to embark  on projects that would make profound impact on the people of Rivers State.
According to him, “Wike should  learn from the past  and not to make money  but a good  name and what people will see and also play by the rules”.
Nwakama, who is the Managing Director of Galaxy Max Gardens and Hotel Nigeria Limited, Rumuagholu at the outskirt of Port Harcourt further enjoined the new governor not to rule the  state with impunity.
He recommended that his government should be exemplary  and reformatory to move  the state  forward.
Calling on the people of the state to give Chief Wike their maximum  cooperation and support,  Nwakama tasked  the new governor  to focus on the provision of infrastructure  such as roads, healthcare delivery, electricity, quality education and water, stressing that  lack of good drinking water has been one of the challenges of the people in the state.
Other challenging areas, according to him, are unemployment  and youth empowerment.
He said tackling  these  areas would go a long way  in reducing   crime rate  among youths.
He described Wike as God-sent  and expressed confidence that he would revive the State.
He said if properly managed, Rivers State was viable  enough to make the people  enjoy the dividends of democracy.
