‘No Man Would Have Done What Wike Has Done’

Former governorship aspirant and elderstatsman in Rivers State, Chief Sergeant Awuse has described the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, as a huge blessing to the state who God has used to give the people of Emohua Local Government Area what no man could give to the people of the area.
Awuse made the remark last Saturday during the official flag-off of the Ogbakiri internal roads projects.
Awuse who said he was part of the forces that moved for the creation of Emohua Local Government Area, noted that since the creation of the local government, no administration in the state had ever brought development in the area more than that of the present government led by Governor Nyesom Wike in terms of infrastructure.
“ From 1999 up till date, we can count how many times the governors, from Gov Peter Odili, Amaechi etc have visited the local government, but you ( Gov Wike) have come so many times”, he said.
He said that the people of the area have lost count of the number of times Governor Wike had visited Emohua for either flag off or inauguration of one project or the other, such that Emohua has enjoyed so much dividends of democracy.
Describing the internal roads project being officially flagged off in Ogbakiri as highpoint of the developmental initiatives of Gov Wike’s administration, in view of the importance of road infrastructure in the area, Awuse assured Gov Wike that the people of Emohua have no option than to follow him (Wike).
“ No man would have done what you have done for us. We will follow you, stand with you and give you whatever you need from us. You are a correct Ikwerre son from Rumuepirikom.
“ Those people that are in APC, please leave Emohua alone. We gave you chance, you didn’t do anything for us. We will follow Wike because because he is a very good man”, he said.
The elderstatsman noted that though the people of Emohua have been following Governor Wike, the people would redouble their support for him because he has irresistable passion for the development of the area.
Our correspondent reports that the 15km internal roads will connect the six communities that make up Ogbakiri: which are Rumuoro, Oduoha, Rumuakani, Rumuada, Ahai, and Okporowo and is expected to be completed in 12 months.
