Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike on Monday said the federal government has not executed any project in the state in the last 23 years.
He made this disclosure on Tuesday during the inauguration of the Rivers State University’s campus in the Etche area of the state, maintaining the trend would change going forward.
Governor Wike said, “Since 1999, which state has given more support to the PDP than Rivers State? I challenge any state in terms of support for the PDP. Since 1999, show me one federal (government) project in Rivers State. Is there any one? If you want our votes, tell me what you will give to Rivers State.”
“Enough is enough of using Rivers State, thinking we are foolish people and we don’t know what to do with our money. Enough is enough of using Rivers people, thinking that they will bring the votes and when they bring it you will push them away.
“Tell Rivers people what you are going to do for them, not me. There is nothing any of them can do for me. I am interested in my state”, he added.
