The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike says his position as chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Campaign Council for Edo 2020 Governorship Election would not affect governance and development of the state.
\nWike stated this at the weekend while speaking to journalists after his routine inspection of on-going projects under the state\u2019s Urban Renewal Programme.
\nThe governor, who inspected the Real Madrid Academy, Port Harcourt; Woji Road at the Phase 2 Government Reservation Area (GRA); and Rebisi Flyover, expressed happiness with the level of work done at the various project sites.
\n\u201cCampaign doesn\u2019t mean that you only go outside. We have our own strategy of campaigning.
\n\u201cWe are liaising with the Edo Local Campaign Organization on our winning strategies.
\n\u201cSo, it does not affect governance and the building of infrastructure to develop the state.
\n\u201cThe campaign is not distracting me because I am focused on delivering on the promises I made to Rivers people\u201d, he emphasised.
\nWike said that the August, 2020, deadline for the completion of the Real Madrid Academy remained sacrosanct.
\nHe, however, stated that the government was yet to decide on the September resumption date for academic activities in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
\n\u201cThe Real Madrid Academy is almost ready. So, we believe that with the level of work done so far, the August deadline will be achievable,\u201d he added.
\nWike also expressed happiness that Julius Berger Nigeria Plc would complete the Rebisi Flyover by November, this year, three months ahead of February, 2021 initial timeline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
