Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has again mocked his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, this time, for allegedly neglecting the development of Egbeda, his mother’s village in Emohua Local Government Area during his tenure.
He spoke at the flag off of the construction of Akpabu-Egbeda-Omoku Link Road in Egbeda.
Wike described as sad that Amaechi, former governor of Rivers and immediate past Minister of Transportation, would describe the new road project as unnecessary and a waste of resources.
“You see, your mother is from here. You didn’t deem fit or necessary to do anything for your maternal home.
“Now, that our mother is not from here, are doing something to help your maternal home. You say it is unnecessary, it is a waste of resources.
“When you have a bad child, he is a bad child. If he is not a bad child, he should thank us for removing shame from his face.
” Since you don’t have Shame, I will add more things for your maternal home.”
Wike then announced a separate contract for the reconstruction of the internal roads within Egbeda, directing the State Commissioner for Works to ensure that the contractor handing the road being flagged off stays back to attend to the internal roads.
