Wike Assures Military Of Cooperation

The visit of the General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and that of the GOC Commanding 82 Division of the Nigerian Army were among top events that took place in Government House last week.
Pastor Adeboye had visited the state as part of his annual Episcopal duties but took time out to pay courtesy call on Governor Nyesom Wike on Tuesday.
During the visit, Governor Wike praised the effort of Adeboye and other men of God in propagating the gospel. He said such efforts have not only led to the spread of the word of God, but also have helped in uniting the country.
The governor thanked God for the exploits of Adeboye, noting that he had been a vessel of God in blessing the country. Shortly after, the news of the Court of Appeal confirming the sack of erstwhile council chairmen under the immediate past administration filtered in.
The Court of Appeal had confirmed the judgement of the Federal High Court sacking all the 22 council chairmen, except that f Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area. The Appeal Court had on Monday dismissed the suit filed by Augustine Ngo and 22 others against the PDP.
On Wednesday, the Governor with other top state government officials flagged-off the reconstruction of the Igwuruta/Chokocho Road at the boundary between Etche and Ikwerre Local Government Areas. Governor WIke promised that the contract being handled by Setraco Nigeria Limited would be completed in six months rather than the slated one year, while promising that funding will be done through the monthly internally generated revenue, as he urged the construction firm to engage locals in labour and provision of materials.
Also within the week, Governor Wike ordered the payment of outstanding arrears owed by the immediate past administration to Health Emergency Workers in the state.
Governor Wike played host to the General Officer Commanding (GOC) the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army on Wednesday. The governor assured Major-General Ibrahim Attahiru, that government would always collaborate with the military to maintain peace and unity. He stressed that the maintenance remain vital to the development of the state, pointing out that so far, the army had lived up to expectations.
Governor Wike returned to Port Harcourt on Friday, after few days outside the state, to attend the final lap of the Five-Nights of Glory, an annual revival and deliverance service by Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt. The governor was accompanied by his wife, Justice Suzethe Wike, Speaker of the state House of Assembly and Secretary to the State Government, Chief Kenneth Kobani.
