“The facility visit and, or tour has become necessary not only to show the immediate past government and its functionaries led by Rotimi Amaechi as governor and Dakuku Peterside as his works commissioner how to prudently use scarce resources for maximum output, but also to prove that the popularity and goodwill being enjoyed by the Wike administration is not based on fallacy but concrete achievements.”
“We are also inviting all stakeholders at home and in the Diaspora for on-the-spot assessment of these roads already completed and commissioned by Governor Wike in the state besides other breakthroughs in the health, housing, judiciary, education, empowerment/poverty alleviation, transport and sports sectors etc, and they will be amazed at what the governor has been able to do with the little resources at his disposal and will regret and agree that the eight years of Amaechi administration in the state despite the huge resources he controlled was a colossal waste,” he said.
Meanwhile, Wike has recently called on Amaechi and the All Progressives Congress to accept their defeat in the rerun elections and allow the government to focus on the rebuilding of Rivers state.
The governor said that the state was wrongly managed by the previous administration, therefore, his government is working hard to revive the state.
