RVHA Hails Wike Over Democracy Dividends

The Rivers State House of
Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adams Dabotorudima says Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has so far made judicious and appreciable progress worth commending, inspite of the dwindling allocation to the state.
Dabotorudima made the remark in Port Harcourt, while reviewing the governor’s achievements since assuming office on the occasion of Nigeria’s 56th Independence anniversary.
Noting that the Wike-led administration has been judiciously using the state’s resources on meaningful projects and people-oriented programmes for the benefit of the people on the state, the Speaker said that the Governor was on the right path to his electioneering promises.
He reiterated the Assembly’s continued support to the administration to enable it deliver on all the promises made by the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) government in the state before the expiration of the first tenure.
Dabotorudima canvassed the support and cooperation of stakeholders in the task of governance, saying that the interest of the state should remain paramount in the minds of Rivers people, irrespective of political affiliation.
On Nigeria at 56, the Speaker said the country has made remarkable progress despite the prevailing economic recession.
He blamed APC-led federal government for the recession, urging it to borrow a leaf from the PDP- led administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan to revive the country’s economy.
The Speaker, who bemoaned the pains Nigerians are going through under Buhari’s government, however, expressed optimism that the country’s economy would be better, if the APC government yield to the advice of Nigerians.
