Edo 2020’ll Not Stall Dev In Rivers -Wike ….Pledges August Deadline For Completion Of Real Madrid Academy

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike says his position as chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Campaign Council for Edo 2020 Governorship Election would not affect governance and development of the state.
Wike stated this at the weekend while speaking to journalists after his routine inspection of on-going projects under the state’s Urban Renewal Programme.
The governor, who inspected the Real Madrid Academy, Port Harcourt; Woji Road at the Phase 2 Government Reservation Area (GRA); and Rebisi Flyover, expressed happiness with the level of work done at the various project sites.
“Campaign doesn’t mean that you only go outside. We have our own strategy of campaigning.
“We are liaising with the Edo Local Campaign Organization on our winning strategies.
“So, it does not affect governance and the building of infrastructure to develop the state.
“The campaign is not distracting me because I am focused on delivering on the promises I made to Rivers people”, he emphasised.
Wike said that the August, 2020, deadline for the completion of the Real Madrid Academy remained sacrosanct.
He, however, stated that the government was yet to decide on the September resumption date for academic activities in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The Real Madrid Academy is almost ready. So, we believe that with the level of work done so far, the August deadline will be achievable,” he added.
Wike also expressed happiness that Julius Berger Nigeria Plc would complete the Rebisi Flyover by November, this year, three months ahead of February, 2021 initial timeline.
