The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike says the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been completely dislodged in the state with the people-oriented projects executed by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).
\nHe said that despite attempts by the opposition to distract him, he will continue the tempo on delivering on people-oriented projects, this year.
\nSpeaking while commissioning the Ozuoba-Rumuoparaeli-Choba Road in Obio\/Akpor Local Government Area, yesterday, Wike said the APC lost voice in the state because leaders of the party are only involved in anti-people programmes.
\nThe governor, who called on APC members to join hands to make the state great, urged the opposition to desist from actions that will stifle development.
\nWith massive development ongoing across the state, Wike emphasized that APC has lost face and support of the people.
\n\u201cWe are not here to give excuses because what we promise we will fulfill it.\u201d
\nHe commended the Akpor people for giving him support and standing by him always, noting that time has come to reciprocate the people\u2019s gesture.
\nHe said: \u201cThere is no more APC in Rivers State, we have used projects to dislodge the APC in the state.
\nWike further said: \u201cAll those that know, must not come close because my people have given me the instrument to go to war against enemies of Rivers State\u201d.
\nCommenting on the road, Wike said that the Ozuoba-Rumuoparaeli-Choba road traverses three communities and two wards, and promised to also construct the one linking Rumuekini community
\nHe said that he has fulfilled the promises made to the people of the area, adding that more projects will be executed in the area.
\nCommissioner of Works, Iheanyichukwu Bathuel disclosed that the four kilometre road connects three communities of Ozuoba, Ogbogoro, and Choba.
\nHe stated that since the completion of the road, economic activity has improved with the value of properties now competing with the city centre.
\nSpokesman of the Rumuokparali community, Sir Chris Abel expressed the gratitude of the people to Wike for fulfilling his campaign promise to them.
\nThe Rumuokparali community extended traditional gifts to Wike. They included a machete, lantern, yams, salt and gari.
\nMeanwhile, speaking during the unveiling of the Rumunduru-Eneka Link Road in Obio\/Akpor Local Government Area on Monday, Wike said that he remains committed to fulfilling all his campaign promises, and lampooned the national leadership of the APC for wasting all its time trying to undo his administration.
\nHe said if the APC national leadership had focused half of its energy on improving the living condition of Nigerians, the country would have made remarkable progress since 2015.
\n\u201cWhile they are busy dismissing policemen, I am busy doing projects. If they owe Nigerians nothing, I owe my people projects.
\n\u201cInstead of them to help us make Rivers State better, they are plotting on how to commit evil. My business this year is to deliver projects\u201d, the governor remarked.
\nHe called on Rivers people to disregard what they read in newspapers about the state, noting that the administration is on course.
\nThe governor said that all the evil machinations of the APC national leadership in connivance with their foot soldiers in Rivers State are targeted at making PDP weak before 2019, adding that such plots have already failed.
\nHe said unless the APC national leadership takes off its eyes from Rivers State, APC states will continue to be engrossed in developmental and security struggles.
\nHe said: \u201cYou gave me your votes, so I will not give you excuses. That is why I am executing pro-people projects \u201c.
\nIn his remarks, state Work Commissioner, Bathuel Iheanyichukwu said the new road has resolved the traffic challenges in the area and improved the economy of communities along the road.
\nChairman of Obio\/Akpor Local Government Area, Prince Collins Onunwo said that Wike has restored the hope of the people of the state.
\nShortly after the inauguration of the road, Wike in company of PDP stalwarts inspected ongoing works at the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
