Analyst Faults Wike’s Development Record
A frontline political analyst in Rivers State, Alesta Wilcox, has expressed disappointment with the development record of former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
In a recent interview with newsmen, Wilcox acknowledged that there were some projects undertaken during Wike’s tenure that were not impactful and sustainable.
Wilcox argued that Wike’s projects were more focused on “showy infrastructure” than making meaningful improvements on the lives of Rivers State residents.
According to him, “The only notable development in recent years was the legacy project initiated by Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi’s government, which had a direct positive impact on the people.
In contrast, Wilcox believes that Wike’s projects, including the “construction of 13 bridges within a small area of Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas (LGAs) do not constitute sensible and reasonable development”.
He said, “We have been robbed of quality development, not that there was no development.
“Apart from Amaechi’s government that instituted what you can see as a legacy project that touches people directly, from Wike, I can’t point out any serious thing that Wike did.
“However, people are saying he built bridges. Upon that, his bridges, I mean, I know that within the space of Port Harcourt City and Obio/Akpor LGAs, about 13 bridges were built”.
Furthermore, he said, “that cannot be called a sensible and reasonable development”.
Wilcox urged Governor Siminalayi Fubara not to go back in his quest to probe governance in the state as he stated recently.
