All parts of Rivers State will witness development under my leadership -Wike


Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike  has  assured  that  no part of the state will be discriminated against  in his strategic development  of  the  state.

Speaking  on Monday when the  Prelate of the Methodist  Church  of  Nigeria,  Dr Samuel  Kanu Uche visited him, Governor  Wike  said he considers himself  as a father of all, irrespective  of  the  different  political  leaning  of the people.


He noted that the all-encompassing development  will be  felt across  Rivers State as every  community  will feel the  impact  of  quality  governance.


Governor  Wike  said : “The entire  Rivers  State  is my constituency.  I am the governor  of  everybody  in the  state.  Therefore, I will work towards enhancing  development  in all parts of  the  state “.

The  governor  said though he inherited  unpaid salaries, pensions and backlog of financial commitments,  which he has been able to clear and place the state on the path of growth.


He said the  completion  of  critical  ongoing  projects  will continue  to  improve  the  living  condition of  the  people.


In his remarks,  Prelate  of  Methodist  Church  of Nigeria, Dr Samuel Kanu Uche commended Governor  Wike  for his numerous  development  projects,  stressing  that  the projects  must be  sustained  all through  his tenure.

He urged the  governor  to  replicate  the  performance  he exhibited as Minister  of State  for Education,  noting  that  Rivers  people  should  experience  his commitment  to  development.


Dr Uche urged Governor  Wike  to develop  alternative  sources  of  wealth for the state by expanding  tourism and fishery. He called on  the  governor  to enhance  his fight against  insecurity  and cultism  to attract more investors and visitors  to  the  state.


He said that there are states that are inclined to specific  individuals,  as such no matter  the number  of  elections conducted,  such individuals will emerge  victorious.  He noted that Rivers  State  is one of such state, pointing  out  that  there is no reason  why the political  class should  distract a performing governor.


The Prelate later offered special  prayers for the governor,  his deputy,  Dr Mrs. Ipalibo Harry Banigo and the  State Government.
