Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has stated that he will hand over to his successor on May 29 as a fulfilled man, having positively impacted the state's 23 local government areas.
The incoming administration was charged with stewardship by the Governor.
Speaking at a Thanksgiving Service organized by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state chapter on Sunday at All Saints Anglican Cathedral in Rumuokwurushi, Obio/Akpor local government area of the state, Wike insisted that only a blind man or an enemy of the state would deny the extent of equitable infrastructure spread across the state.
He said, “If your politics is not about the interest of your people, then you have a problem; the electorates are now wiser, you must be ready to present a full ‘report card’ to your people by 2027 if you must continue in politics.”
The governor also explained that the party was able to come out victorious in the gubernatorial polls due to evidential impacts in the area of good governance and gender balance.
He said there were females serving as Vice-chairmen in the 23 local government areas with not less than 5 female ward councillors in each area and also a handful of female Senators and Members-elect.
The governor urged the Governor-elect, Siminialayi Fubara, and his team not to be distracted by the opposition, which is "determined to drag them before the tribunal."
