Peter Obi Hails Wike Over Infrastructural Development In Rivers
Former Governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Peter Obi has praised the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, for the outstanding infrastructural development in the state.
Obi gave the commendation during his consultative visit to the Rivers State chapter of the PDP in Port Harcourt.
He described Governor Wike as his brother and friend, and expressed appreciation to the Rivers State Chief Executive for the warm hospitality granted him in the state.
The presidential aspirant assured the delegates, and by extension Nigerians, that, if given the chance, he would turn the nation into a highly productive nation, where the youth are productively engaged in different endeavours and people are well rewarded for their hardwork.
Speaking on the occasion, the Rivers State Chairman of the PDP, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, said that Nigeria as a country should be proud of people like Peter Obi for their undying desire and consistent drive to rebuild the country, extolling the former governor for his undying passion to build a better Nigeria.
Akawor described Obi as one who understands the nation’s economy and has not shirked in his struggle to fix things for the benefit of all.
“Undoubtedly, Obi is interested in the development of the country. He does not just preach about how things should be done rightly, but he shows you his track record of success in governance and tells you how he did it rightly, with verifiable evidences.
“Under him, Anambra enjoyed the best road infrastructure, while developing in all fronts.
“He left behind no debt and even kept a savings of N75 billion for the State, a record yet unbroken in the country. We are very proud to associate with a man like him,” Akawor said.
