In a statement in Prot Harcourt to mark the first anniversary of the 2016 Supreme Court judgment that validated Governor Wike’s election, Dagogo described the governor as a worthy recipient of the awards, considering the laudable achievements of his administration.
Expressing delight that the awards came at a time the state was remembering the January 27, 2016 landmark reaffirmation of Wike’s 2015 governorshp victory, Dagogo, representing Degema constituency in the state assembly, recalled that the judgement was justice for Rivers people and a reflection of the wishes of the people.

According to him,” The governor has been relentless in delivering service to Rivers people to justify the overwhelming confidence the people reposed in him. Look at the transformation of the education sector with schools in all senatorial zones witnessing total reconstruction.
“ Also, in Rivers State we are witnessing the passion and attention the state governor is giving the health sector typified with the five hundred million naira grant to private health care practitioners. I consider it a radical bid to boost health care delivery in the state. This laudable gesture goes hand-in-hand with the sweeping health care reform agenda that includes the reconstruction of 13 General Hospitals across the state’’, he said
He commended the Governor  for the provision of critical road infrastructure that has led to the completion of countless internal roads, highways and bridges.
“ As we mark the first anniversary of that landmark ruling, I consider it pertinent to salute the courage and dogedness of those Supreme Court judges”, he said.
