Gov Wike constructed this road upto 97%, Fubara only did the cleanup of the road for commissioning.

Fubara cannot take Gov Wike glory. Fubara has not done anything in Rivers state except thanksgiving services.

Etche and Omuma people are solidly with Gov wike

Nonsense

Stop being Silly, all the roads Wike Started have been completed and commissioned last year. This particular project was flagged off Six months ago when the governor went on inspection visit to Ọmụma. He commissioned another project today, do give Wike Credit for that one too and the ones of tomorrow and next.

His Excellency Sir Sim Fubara has begun the Week long Commissioning spree. Starts with a project embarked upon six months ago. Read the report below.

GOV. FUBARA COMMISSIONS RECONSTRUCTED OKEHI/UMUOLA/EBERI ROAD, UNLOCKS ECONOMIC GROWTH IN ETCHE AND OMUMA

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has once again proven that development, not distractions, is his focus. On Tuesday, he commissioned the reconstructed Okehi/Umuola/Eberi Link Road, a vital 11.8km project connecting the agrarian local governments of Etche and Omuma.

This road, completed within just five months, is more than asphalt, it’s a lifeline for the hardworking farmers and residents of these food-producing LGAs. Known as the food baskets of Rivers State, Etche and Omuma contribute significantly to the state’s agricultural output with staples like yam, cassava, plantain, corn and vegetables.

Speaking at the commissioning, Governor Fubara highlighted the neglect Omuma LGA endured under previous administrations, pledging to reverse the trend by ensuring every part of Rivers State benefits from governance. "This road is not just about connectivity; it’s about development and inclusion," he said.

The governor explained that the road, designed with modern specifications, 7.3 meters in width, a 150mm stone base and a durable 50mm binder and wearing course was prioritized because of its strategic importance. It serves as a gateway to Omuma, where the governor is also constructing the Omodu-Eberi-Omuma Road, which will connect Rivers to Abia State.

Governor Fubara reiterateed the economic potential this project unlocks. “With this road, we are empowering the people. We are enabling faster movement of farm produce, improving trade, and ultimately boosting the GDP of Rivers State.”

Farmers in the region, who have long endured the challenges of transporting their goods on bad roads, can now access markets faster and more efficiently, ensuring higher earnings and reduced post-harvest losses.

Governor Fubara’s performance is particularly commendable given the challenges and political distractions aimed at derailing his administration. Despite these hurdles, he remains undeterred, delivering on promises and solidifying his reputation as a leader focused on results, not rhetoric.

The commissioning of the Okehi/Umuola/Eberi Link Road is another testament to Governor Fubara’s resolve to leave no part of Rivers State behind. His administration’s approach is clear: development for all, regardless of societal status or political leanings.

The people of Etche and Omuma are now witnessing the tangible benefits of this commitment, with a road that not only connects their communities but also their dreams for a better future. Governor Fubara has once again raised the bar for governance, proving that distractions are no match for determination.

Now I can confirm there's a concerted effort here on Nairaland to discredit Gov. Sim. If this was a news about the Political Crisis, It would have made the front Page.
Anyways congratulations to the Etche/Ọmụma people and to Rivers State in General.
May Sim Fubara Succeed.

honey001:
Can't you people contribute meaningfully to a thread without cursing and abusing one another? If you people continue attacking one another like this, the country will not get better ooh because that's what those our politicians want oooh.....

The truth is some persons are naturally stupid and you can't engage them, all you can do is call out their stupidity and see if it might lead them to the epiphany of their stupidity but sadly most of them might remain stupid forever like that omooba05 guy. They know the difference between minimum wage salary and level 8 but they just want to discredit what needs applauding,you may ask; to what end?,to continue in their stupidity really.
Our former governor Wike refused to pay the then 30k minimum wage, a good man has come and increased the least worker's salary from 19,500 or in some cases a little above it to 85k, 15k above the national minimum wage and instead of applauding the governor people like that rat are comparing the minimum wage which level 1 workers were paid to that of level 8 workers who are graduate entries. You see how stupid the likes of omooba05 are annoyingly stupid?

omooba05:
Lagos state level 8 teacher salary is 168,000 after tax.. level 1 69k after tax

Ignorance is a bliss. Keep being either stupid or ignorant.

ChiefOkporghe:
Bala Mohammed became Governor in 2019. How could he have been a solid Presidential aspirant in 2023?

Wike never contested in 2019. He was never an aspirant then... He is not someone to be used as a placeholder or to rally round support only to drop out.

So.. Your assertion that Atiku defeated him twice is false.

I've followed this conversation from the start and my take is that , It's either you're really ignorant of all that transpired or you're just trying to twist history and quite frankly I don't understand what you stand to gain.
I'm a Rivers Man and quite active politically. Everyone knows that NEW was the backbone of the Tambuwal presidential bid. He plotted Uche Secondus to be Chairman for that purpose when it was clearly the turn of the South West to produce the National Chairman. He even moved the venue of the primaries to PH in furtherance of his objective.
It was the defeat to Atiku that made him ensure to the removal of Secondus as National Chairman as he accused him of betraying him. I really don't get why you're arguing an obvious fact that everyone knows

marksonrick:
Although according to sources, Wike awarded this contract with upfront payment. I am still happy the governor did not terminate it.

Your sources are wrong. Sim Fubara awarded and paid for the PH ring road.

Zaheertyler:
Lol
I’m not trying to defend wike here but my common guyman sixth sense makes me believe that wike has no hand in the post electoral conflicts
I could be wrong but causing violence after losing isn’t a smart move by any man talk less of someone like wike
Someone wants to tarnish his image..
Mr fubara I like your courage but take it easy and don’t overdo this thing ..
I could be wrong though because I no Dey there but no be wike Dey cause all this after party

You're wrong. We live here and we saw those who caused mayhem. They weren't subtle about it.

kaludestiny10:
The etche LG candidate running under APP called Utanmiri may be sidelined because his people don't like him. The governor may declare the candidate of another political party that is loyal to him as winner.

Reginald of the APC will be declared winner.

Aleem26:
Please Is that police in the picture a escort❓❓❓

Chijoke's escort

Odidigboigbo:
This is Amaechi man not Wike. Get your facts before you hype

OJ betrayed Amaechi since before the Governorship election last year. You're not current.

Jorussia:
So flag nor dey with Rotimi Amaechi again?Na wa o Amaechi don lose men for rivers state sha.Flag was APC state chairman in 2019,and he really galvanized the party nor be small then.Amaechi's unnecessary pride cost APC dearly in Rivers 2019.Wike would not have been governor in 2019 if not for Amaechi's refusal to pacify Magnus Abe despite efforts from leaders including PBAT.

Stop lying or Shut your mouth if you don't have what to say. BAT was the one who funded Abe during the crisis. He even assisted to returning Wike even after Amaechi used AAC's Awara.

ogaemma:
Samuel Nwanosike have been in the corridoor of power right from the Rotimi Ameachi regime.
He is not new in making money from state contract's and NDDC jobs.
I was even shocked that he agreed to run for LGA chairman, a position I see him to be too low for his caliber of politician.

Shut up you liar, he made his money as Council boss. What position did he hold during Amaechi's tenure?

GreenCovering:
His cup will be full one day.
Was he not indicted as an axis to boko haram evil perpetrators by sss before?
One day the good people of the north will know who their true enemies really are?

He wasn't. He spoke truth to power when Buhari tried to grant Amnesty to BH fighters.
I don't understand why you guys act like all is well in this Country.

Olachase:
Because your husband failed to show working in your village, he was busy pumping money to the North, due to fear of second term 😏😏

What happened next, he was left behind

Now even road to go Otueke he no day🥲🥲

No be JuJu be that

If you know how many Bayelsans Jona made Billionaires and Millionaires, you'll hold your peace. For that Otuoke road, just see it as a spiritual affair, the current MD of NDDC is also from Ogbia, he's constructing roads all over the Niger Delta but that road is still like that. Only Ogbia people can explain why that road is like that.

DevilsEqual:
Is this guy working on any independent project??

Na stunt be all this one o

He dey try impress people wey no dey follow am stay for Rivers

Dey play!! Are you in Rivers State?
I don't think there's any Governor that has commissioned more projects than Fubara in the last one year. Go to facebook or youtube and search "Governor Fubara commissions". You'd get proper info. For some strange reasons, there's always topics on the crisis in Rivers State but nothing on developmental strides of the Governor here on Nairaland. It almost appears to be a concerted effort to make the Governor appear to be non performing.
Rivers State has seen performing Governors, we aren't fools to support a non performing Governor.

yyba:

Clean shaved General, He is doing well.
May Major General Sim Fubara Succeed.

Clean shaved General,

Righthussle:
The two guys destroying the bill board are the same people who installed it.

I used to like Wike until he refused to pay Rivers workers 30k minimum wage for 8 good years and also refused to promote Rivers workers for solid 8 years.

Even Idi Amin no treat him people like that.

Sim is almost toying the same line. He has done a one sided promotion exercise for workers in the state. Local government workers promotion has not been implemented, so they have not been promoted for 9 years now. Also, For political reasons, he has refused to pay local government workers their may and june salaries in this Tinubu era.


For now, Rivers people are supporting him. We pray he doesn't turn out like Wike.

Stop spreading falsehoods sir. Local government promotion has been done and implemented. Only council Chairmen, councilors and Council appointees have not been paid. They will be paid their three months salary this month.

eagleu:
If history is still being taught in our schools, Rotimi Ameachi syndrome would have been a big topic.
From stealing his people's money to finance Buhari, to donating a campaign airplane for Buhari, to building a railway to Buhari's native home, to denying same railway for his people; all to spite GEJ/his wife.
People should be able to judge his mindset for ages to come.
Oh, I forgot he is from the area where sabotaging your people is not really a big deal.

Stop being silly .Amaechi didn't deny Rivers State of Railway. Railway is working in Rivers State.

vanbonattel:
The man lost everything just as he made it. Politics in naija is betting.

You clearly do not know what you're saying.

9jatriot:
This represents the way obidients think.

These same set of people would have been claiming "Humble Obi" if he was the one that sat by himself, flew commercial and carried his own bag but because it is another person, they want to twist the story..

What exactly is wrong with Amaechi seating and waiting for his flight, do you want him to go and buy a private jet when he cannot afford it?

If you think Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, former aide to deputy governor of RIVERS STATE,former speaker of RIVERS STATE House of Assembly for Eight years, former Governor of RIVERS STATE for Eight years and former Transport Minister for Eight years who BORROWED TRILLIONS for railway revolution for Nigeria cannot afford a private Jet, you're as deluded as the old man boy.

yyba:
Keep fooling yourself , instead of you to look for someone to tell you the meaning of maintain status quo. Here you are just posting without even knowing what exactly it means. Illiterate kids everywhere with free bonus data

Lol,

You must be one of the most foolish and dullest of persons on this platform to make this comment.

Kai, I can't even engage you as your situation is clearly hopeless.

Ignorance they say is a bliss.

Telling me that I don't understand the meaning of maintaining status quo,
Too bad

yyba:
explain what you understand by maintain status quo ? Is like you and him think everyone is illiterate abi

Na mumu dey worry you. The Full CTC of the court proceedings is out and you're still out here exhibiting unbridled ignorance. Only prayers 1,2,3,4 and 7 were granted.
Stop arguing what you don't know or have incomplete knowledge of. It makes you appear silly.

NNNN2024:
Oya nah. Once I enter PH I go quote you.
I no dey drag things with you except sey you dey lie

Until then, na your papa be bloody liar.

Simple question you've not answered, you're going round circles. You claim to be from Rivers State yet don't know the name of your community and LGA where you claim Wike hold ground .
Bloody liar

SaiOba:
Hey small boi..
I just wanted to let you know Court Declares 25 Rivers Assembly Seats Vacant so keep on wailing as much as you can as the omega of political game..
Mtcheew!

Leave that slowpoke.
The fact that he has deleted his comments speaks volume of his character.

NNNN2024:
Leave wherever you are and come down to Rivers State.

I'm a Rivers man residing here in PH so tell me the LGA where you say Wike hold ground.
Bloody liar

vanitybutiwanti:
sharrap lowlife, anybody can claim to be anything on the Internet, where was your father when sim was being made Governor? Go and hustle for your dinner before you think of paying me idiiot, you believe sim should take far reaching decisions to fortify himself but the other factions should fold their hands and watch because they are foools? This is politics, nobody has the monopoly of violence and judicial scheming, the best schemer will win at the end of the day and the only thing lowlives like you can do is to come and cry on the Internet, sim can pay mushroom high court Judges in the state high court to procure judgements, we are waiting to see if he can replicate it in the higher courts.

Let me tell you something and get it into your thick skull, in political circles, nobody trusts the ingrate and he is being dealt with a long spoon so much so that the President had to prevail on Magnus Abe to reconcile with wike because the ingrate is tilting towards supporting Atiku or Obi, he's being left to run his tenure without forceful intervention from the President, the president is no fool, he saw the work, the LGA Chairmen and the legislators put in to ensure that the APC won in Rivers state hence the reason why most of them where given Federal appointment after their resignation, nobody will trust a flippant ingrate and backstabber like sim fubara, when the time comes, you will tell us if INEC, Appeal court and the supreme courts are ministries under the Rivers state government, the same way he was rigged in, that is how he will be rigged out and there's nothing deluded lowlives like you can do about it.

You claim to know everything yet you are unaware that the ingrate is not in talking terms with Odili because Odili told him to make peace with his benefactor? The ingrate even went on record to proclaim that Rivers state has no leader because what Odili told him in closed doors. He has flagged off and commisioned some projects embarked upon by the previous administration, did you see Odili in those occasions? You're a daft wishful thinker and a lowlife who is unaware of what is happening in your surrounding, even if I don't work actively for 24 months, I can feed you and your father for a year from my dividends and Rents without breaking a sweat lowlife, don't assume that everyone on the Internet is on your level, get that into your thick skull

Bit by bit your lies and falsehoods will catch up with you.

Tareq1105:
This life eh.

Odili has become Fubara daddy. The same Odili and others who were angry with Wike for choosing Fubara who they consider not to be one of them have become his closest.

Be careful when your enemy suddenly becomes your friend.

Stop saying what you don't know. Odili was not in the category of persons angry, meanwhile the people who were angry were angry because they wanted to be governor and there's nothing wrong with that. After the primaries they accepted the decision, problem only broke out after they decided to work for Atiku when he won the pdp ticket.
Lastly for your info, the deputy governor is Odili's nominee.

NNNN2024:
Lies. Even for my community here in Rivers state e hold ground. Same for my LGA

You're a bloody liar.
What's the name of your community and in which LGA?

These mods sef on Nairaland. We see what you guys are doing...
Projects are being commissioned almost on daily basis, no such thing on NL front page but when it's news about the crisis, boom Front page.
It's almost like you guys are trying to paint Gov Sim bad.
Anyways, God pass una

Dpharisee:
The guy is now fighting Wike from the grassroots, as politicians usually say 'politics is local'.
These people were the same people employed by Wike to help in rigging elections at their wards, after the elections there was no more need for them and they were dismissed as Local Govt workers, now they have been recruited by Fubara ahead of various upcoming elections and they are expected to work against Wike, they even got advance payment called '3 months backlog'

Some of you are so funny.
How you confidently say things you have no idea of is mind boggling
