Wike Stops Convoy To Attend To Accident Victim …Assures Ikwerres Of Govt Projects

The humanity of Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike was on display on Port Harcourt-Owerri Road, last Monday, as he stopped his convoy to move the corpse of an accident victim killed by a truck.
The man, who was riding a commercial motorcycle, was crushed near the Igwuruta roundabout along the Port Harcourt Airport Road.
The governor personally supervised the evacuation of the victim, which was carried out by medical personnel in an ambulance attached to the convoy.
Eye-witnesses told the governor that the victim was crushed to death by a truck in the morning hours.
However, after the evacuation, Wike supervised the restoration of normal traffic flow in the area.
Meanwhile, Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has declared that the state will not allow the use of N-Power personnel as INEC ad-hoc staff during the 2019 General Elections.
Addressing the PDP Campaign Rally for Ikwerre Local Government Area, last Monday at Omagwa, Wike said that the N-Power list was concocted to favour APC with a view to rigging the 2019 General Elections.
He said: “I hear INEC wants to use N-Power personnel as ad-hoc staff for the elections. This is a ploy to rig the elections.
“N-Power personnel will not be allowed to serve as INEC ad-hoc staff in Rivers State. If you bring them, we will chase them away”.
Wike said all Nigerians should share in the blame of allowing a man without knowledge of the economy to emerge as president of the country.
“The mass unemployment across the country is due to the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari. All Nigerians should share in the blame for their suffering.
“We took our future and mandate and handed over to people who don’t understand job creation”, he said.
Wike charged the people to vote for the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar for his understanding of the economy and ability to create jobs.
He said: “All his life, Atiku Abubakar has been involved in job creation. He is one of the highest employers of labour in Nigeria”.
While urging the people to vote for all PDP candidates, Wike said that during his second term, he would construct Omerelu and Omagwa internal roads.
The Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah performed the traditional handing over of flags to PDP candidates, during which he appealed to the people of the area to remain steadfast.
Former Rivers State Governor, Sir Celestine Omehia said the governor was a true son of Ikwerre who has transformed the state, adding that the people were happy with him.
He said in Ikwerre Local Government Area, Wike executed key projects that have improved the economy of the area.
“Wike is our son in whom we are well pleased. Ikwerre people are happy that you have kept your promises”, he said.
Omehia said Wike, in the course his first term, executed key projects for the good people of Ikwerre Local Government Area.
Also speaking, Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area, Engineer Samuel Nwanosike said that the use of security agencies to rig elections in the area will not work in 2019.
The PDP House of Representatives’ Candidate for Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency, Barrister Boniface Emerengwa assured that the people will overwhelmingly vote for Wike and other PDP candidates.
Vice Chancellor of the Rivers State University, Prof Blessing Didia said Ikwerre people will reciprocate the kind gesture of the governor through their votes.
