In fact, in a statement signed by his media aide, Kelvin Ebiri, the governor made it plain that even if the people wish to keep him in office beyond what is constitutionally accepted, he still will not be able to fix the state, The Nation added.
His words:
“I never said I will finish the whole work in Rivers State. Did I say so? Even if you keep me here for 40 years, I cannot finish the work in Rivers State. What we have said is, go to any local government, you’ll see our impact."
However, Wike said he will not fail to make his impact felt in all local government areas of the state while his administration continues.
The governor stated:
"What we have said is, go to any local government, you’ll see our impact.
“I said in Omuma, we did so-so number kilometers of road. What you should bother yourself with is to go and check."
