Federal Government Has No Project In Rivers After Two Years – Wike

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that after two years in office, the All Progressives Congress-led federal government has not executed any meaningful project in the state.

Flagging off the construction of the Elele-Alimini internal roads in Emohua Local Government Area on Tuesday, Mr. Wike said that the APC made promises and abandoned the state.

The flag of the construction of the Elele-Alimini internal roads is part of the second-year anniversary of Mr. Wike as governor.

“APC has deceived Nigerians. I challenge the APC to show one project that they have executed in Rivers State in the last two years.

“They have made promises, but they have made no efforts to fulfil the promises.

“Enough is enough for the lying and deception of the APC. You can see the difference between light and darkness,” he said.

The governor explained that construction of the Elele-Alimini internal roads is in fulfillment of his promise to the people of the area.

“Those people in APC stayed in government for eight years, but never fulfilled the promises they made to the people of Elele-Alimini. Today, we are here to fulfil our promises to the people of the area.

“Because the people of Elele-Alimini did not disappoint me when I came to them for votes, I will not disappoint them.”

He said that the people of Rivers State have no business being in the APC as the party has shown by its actions that it will not execute projects in the state.

He commended a leader of the APC in Elele-Alimini, Chibuike Dike, for leading his supporters back to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
