Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio has declared that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has\u00a0 executed more projects in the last two years than the APC-led Federal Government.
\nAddressing\u00a0 journalists\u00a0 after accompanying\u00a0 Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike\u00a0 on an extensive\u00a0 projects\u00a0 inspection last Monday, Senator Akpabio\u00a0 said that Governor Wike\u2019s\u00a0 excellent\u00a0 performance stems\u00a0 from his love for Rivers people.
\nThe former Governor of Akwa Ibom State noted: \u201cGovernor Wike has done more work and projects\u00a0 in the last two years than the Federal Government.\u00a0 That is my considered opinion.
\n\u201cPerformance\u00a0 is not necessarily\u00a0 an issue of the availability\u00a0 of\u00a0 resources.\u00a0 If your state gets N5billion, do projects of that amount. If you get N1billion, do projects commensurate with that\u00a0 figure. For Governor\u00a0 Wike, he has judiciously\u00a0 applied\u00a0 the scarce resources available\u00a0 to the state to develop needed infrastructure.
\n\u201cThe resources\u00a0 available\u00a0 to\u00a0 Rivers State\u00a0 is nothing\u00a0 compared to that of the Federal Government.\u00a0 Rivers State Government gets far less than a quarter than one percent of what accrues to the Federal Government, but we can see the tremendous\u00a0 quality\u00a0 of\u00a0 transformation taking place in the state\u201d.
\nThe former governor added: \u201cIt is not so much money that makes performance. It is love for your people. When you are elected, if you love your people you will perform, no matter the little money that you have.
\n\u201cWhat I am seeing here in Rivers State is not like a recession economy because the Governor of Rivers State loves his people. Let me use this opportunity to congratulate the workers at the various sites because they are acquiring a lot of skills working at the sites.
\n\u201cThe kind of projects that Governor Wike is doing in Rivers State will attract the world to the state. Today, there is a song, that the handwork of Wike is beautiful.\u201d
\nSenator Akpabio\u00a0 advised Governor Wike\u00a0 never to be distracted by political detractors who engage in political\u00a0 blackmail,\u00a0 saying that no matter\u00a0 the attempt at distraction, Governor Wike\u00a0 should continue\u00a0 his transformation of the state.
\nHe added \u201cDo not be distracted by unnecessary blackmail against your person by political detractors. I want to urge all governors who have the opportunity to lead their states to visit Rivers State
\n\u201cI want to say this with all amount of pride that Governor Wike is working. We pray God to continue to bless, protect and keep him to work for the state. Governor Wike loves his people, he loves Rivers State and that is why he is doing this. It is not everyone that will transform Rivers State in such a short time.
\n\u201cUnder two years, the results are everywhere. The roads we think that will not be done, have been done. The roads are now wonderful, most of them dualised.
\n\u201cWhen it comes to the time of election and the people risk their lives for Governor Wike. People will say maybe he sponsored thugs or used money. It is Governor Wike\u2019s work that will determine the electoral future.\u201d
\nHe commended\u00a0 Governor Wike\u00a0 for restoring the pride of Rivers State\u00a0 as the capital\u00a0 of the Niger Delta.
\nGovernor Wike during\u00a0 the\u00a0 inspection tour, explained the importance\u00a0 of\u00a0 the Rivers State Ecumenical Centre, the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park and Landscaping Architecture at Airforce overheard bridge, Port Harcourt.
\nHe said that his administration\u00a0 will continue\u00a0 to\u00a0 sustain the execution of\u00a0 projects\u00a0 across the state, despite\u00a0 the\u00a0 economic recession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
