Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has urged the people of the state to remain resolute in the protection of their votes during the forthcoming rerun legislative elections.

Commissioning the phase one of the reconstructed Nkpogu Bridge/Road and Ground Breaking for Phase 2, Governor Wike said that the people of Rivers State insist on free and fair elections.

He charged the people of the state to vote for PDP candidates during the rerun legislative elections for the sustenance of development in the State.

The governor said: “There is no need to allow the APC to come back to the state.  If you allow them to come back, they will scuttle development projects for our people.

“We are children of light. We are in the promisedland and we cannot return to the days of darkness represented by the APC “.



He added: “We must protect our votes to reclaim our mandate.  This is our opportunity to tell Nigerians once again that this is a PDP state”.

Commenting on the bridge, Wike said it was started from the very beginning to its completion.

He said the immediate past government awarded the contract in 2012 but refused to fund the project.

He said the bridge and road project will improve  traffic  between  LNG and Trans-Amadi areas of  the  town.

The governor called on  the  people  to cooperate  with the contractor  to execute the phase 2 within the  approved timeline and specifications.

The programme  was attended  by  the  Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, Former Rivers State Governor, Sir Celestine Omehia,  Former Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Austin Opara and Senator Lee  Maeba.

Sure. The two governors that give bubu headache, Wike and Fayose.
