Governor WIKE noted that it is better to offer public congratulations rather than visit the President at night which he said some Governors under the People’s Democratic Party have been doing.
The Governor was speaking at the Funeral Service in honour of Late Madam BLESSING AWUSE, Mother of SERGENT CHIDI AWUSE, at the Saint Luke’s Anglican Church, Emohua Local government area of the state.
Governor WIKE also claimed that River state is the only state that the federal government has refused payback the money used to execute Federal projects because he does not go to see the President.
He further noted that politics is a game of interest, noting that Rivers people in the All Progressives Congress are under obligation to attract Federal benefits to the state.
Governor WIKE also expressed displeasure that Rivers State has key links to President BUHARI from the State, yet the East West Road, the seaports and other Federal projects have been completely neglected since 2015, stressing that nothing indicates that the State has prominent APC members working with President BUHARI.
The Governor’s position was contained in a statement issued by his special Assistant on Electronic Media, SIMEON NWAKAUDU.
