The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, yesterday, was commended by twenty-eight political parties in the state for living up to his campaign promises so far.

Secretary of Inter-party Advisory Council, IPAC, Rueben Favour said the parties were impressed with Wike’s performance so far.
Reuben stated that Wike, by appointing opposition into the newly constituted caretaker committees in the various local government areas has given room to every Rivers indigene to contribute their quota to the development of the State.The political parties further commended the governor for encouraging the judiciary to thrive as an independent arm of government.
They said: “The judiciary which was in comatose for over a year under the immediate past administration is now free from executive emasculation as lawyers and judges are serving the course of justice. In addition, Governor Wike has removed the legislature from executive encumbrances, interference and intimidation. All the three arms of government are working with absolute autonomy and in synergy, too. This, by our reckoning, is the governor’s idea of democracy and good governance.


“It is important to state that Governor Wike makes the security of lives and property of all Rivers people and residents a topmost priority, hence, the acquisition of 64 Toyota Hilux Security Patrol Vans fitted with modern security gadgets for law enforcement agencies.”
However, the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state is not part of the Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC.
