Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, says Federal Government, FG, was never willing to executive the Bonny Deep Sea Port it conceived for Rivers state and was only deceiving the people from the outset.

Wike expressed the feeling on Monday, March 8, 2021, at the inauguration of Rumuji -Ibaa-Obelle-Isiopko Road in Rivers state performed by former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido who also bashed the All Progressives Congress, APC, as ruling without vision and feeling for the people.

Wike declared, “Let them (FG) tell us what they had done for Rivers state. I hear they want to flag off railways narrow gauge from here (Rivers) to Maiduguri. Is that what we need?

“They want to do Bonny Deep Sea Port, for how many years now? Before the drawings will come out, has the government not gone? In their hearts, they know they’ll not do it.

They only have this year, next year is a political year. “We cannot be deceived any longer. PDP is a party that Nigerians and Rivers people have seen that have the zeal, and commitment to save Nigerians.”

On the newly commissioned project, he told benefiting communities, “Those from Isiopko, Obele, Ibaa, and Rumuji, will look back and reflect on how this road was. Do not forget it easily.

“Today, all of us can come back home. All of us can go to the market. We can all drive freely; those from Isiopko can pass through and go to Emohua. Those from Rumuji and all of you can pass through and go to the airport.

“This is what development is all about. Development is not about giving you money. It is all about making the environment conducive for economic activities to thrive.

“There is no way the government can share money with everybody. But it has a duty to make the environment conducive for you to work and find food to eat.”

Lamido, shortly before inaugurating the project, said, “When APC came on board, they had no programme, no plan.

The only thing they had was to flush out PDP from the government because we were performing, we were organised, because we were committed, compassionate, and very humane”.

He explained that remodelling of the nation’s airports, rehabilitation of railway, and reform in the power sector are all PDP initiatives and not that of the APC.

“They (APC) can’t think. They have no vision, they have no feeling, no compassion. They are there for the power and the power is there tormenting them because the power was abused”, he stated.

minus PDP and APC palava

the reality is that these politicians think that nigerians are fools.
to them everything is about ceasing power, stealing cash, and showing off amongst themselves.
this country have no plans for her citizens and doesn't even care if we die of hunger all they think of is power.

the governor laid a good complaint here but then started diverting it to PDP APC wahala.
how is that of any use to the common man who's thinking of what to eat, survival and comfort.

truth is that if they bring out the money for the said project and put in their hands (whether PDP or APC) it'll be looted eventually and nothing will still happen.

Oga shebi after the citizens selling out their future for 2k in four years? abeg find another thing talk. We are not ready to make a better Nigeria.
Since this is not my problem, my problem now is;

I met my course mate selling roasted corn by the road side, he saw me and ran away, he didn't know I was coming to tell him I supply charcoal.

stanisbaratheon:
Wike is mad.

Since Wike could not do a project in Bonny he clearly doesn't want the Federal government to do any. I wonder what the reverine communities did to Wike to warrant such abandonment from him.

Not new, most of the current hasty projects in SS and SE is due to the shocking activities of ESN. Even Fulani led government is shocked.
So they needa calm the people down and make them feel among.

We all know Buhari is a failure.
You can't hide pregnancy

WIKE aka Mr projects, has indeed done well for Rivers states, its seen by the blind, and audible to the deaf.

His rivalry with his formal boss,Ameachi,made him to do more for his people , and rendered Amaechi, perpetually useless in River politics.

So nothing Buhari FG has done for the second most productive state in Nigeria, and states that are parasites especially in the north, are getting huge projects..Even another countries like Niger are getting project from Buhari.

I hope we revisit our 1914 expired amalgamation.
