Thank God, Wike is now working and has drop all the hullabaloo over Amechi.

All the River indigenes should get ready, because injecting new blood means employment opportunities will be available soon.

Wike, the only governor with the voice of a frog.

if this topic no make front page
make I die!!

Now that's a Governor.

He is trying to work

This guy 'seems' to be good. Time will tell.

Now that's what I call a governor, following due process in making appointments. Unlike this useless fat bellied governor called RochASS okoroshie. No payment no nothing, I just can't wait for him to be kicked out of government house.

The future of Rivers State is clearly bright and back on course.

This man will perform like Godswill Akpabio.

TheSonOfMark:
He's not trying, he's working! Just like Udom Emmanuel of Akwaibom state.


Noticed another thing? They are both PDP governors.

APC governors like Rochas and Amoson are loitering Abuja TRYING to settle the APC crises.

7UP - the difference is clear!

Ok, he's working but too early to conclude. Rochas also started out like that but fumbled ever since he joined APC
