Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of Rivers State has declared that the bad governance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has left Nigeria terribly divided.
At the official kick-off of the reconstruction/rehabilitation of Abuloma, Fimie, Ozuboko and Amadi-Ama community roads in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Governor Wike said Nigeria is divided because of the APC leadership style.
He said, “Wherever you go today in this country, there is one problem or the other. Is that how Nigerians want it? Certainly not! We need people who will promote peace through quality leadership.”
The governor said that Nigerians were deceived into voting for the APC, pointing out that in 2019, no Nigerian will be deceived by the empty promises of the party.
“The change they said they are bringing is a fake change. No person resident in Rivers State and sees what we are suffering from the APC-led Federal Government will ever support the party”, Wike said.
He assured the people of the state that his administration will continue to deliver projects which will improve on their living condition, stressing that the reconstruction/rehabilitation of Abuloma, Fimie, Ozuboko and Amadi-Ama community roads will be completed in six months.
Wike said that the poor nature of the roads in the heart of Port Harcourt brings to fore the failure of the immediate past administration.
The governor urged the contractor to carry the people of the host communities along through sub-contracts and employment opportunities.
On the flooding of several parts of the state, the governor reiterated that his administration will take steps to stop future occurrence.
He appealed to residents to desist from building houses on waterways, noting that resolving the flood challenge requires everyone to work in unison.
An official of the CCECC, Mr Robinson Ndiokho, assured the governor that the company will construct the roads in line with the approved specifications.
The Caretaker Committee Chairman of Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, Mr Chima Orlu, said that although Gov Wike met an empty treasury, he had delivered on his mandate.
