The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has berated leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), over their inability to attract development to the state.
Speaking on Saturday, after the flag-off of the construction of Umueze-Umuogba-Umuokpurukpu-Umueke-Umunju-Umuellechi-Eberi road in Omuma Local Government Area of the state, Wike said, “The Federal Government has no tangible project in Rivers State after close to three years in government. These APC leaders from Rivers State have been unable to attract a single project.
“If you know that you cannot deliver projects to the people of Rivers State, you better keep quiet and allow us develop the state.
“There is no way that Omuma Local Government Area will not continue to benefit from key projects. The lawmaker representing Omuma State Constituency, Rt Hon Kelechi Nwogu, has performed creditably and we can see his constituency project.
“Those, who represented Omuma Local Government Area in the past, what is their legacy. For this administration, we shall develop the area.”
He revealed that as Minister of State for Education, he was able to attract grants for the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education and Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic and 22 other key projects to the State.
