The network of roads embarked upon by the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike in his one year in office has been described as monumental.
The Amanyanabo-Elect of Ogu, in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area, His Royal Majesty, King Nicholas Ibiebele Nimenibo Loko IX, made the assertion in an interview with The Tide correspondent in Port Harcourt Monday.
King Nimenibo Loko IX said despite the dwindling federal government allocation to the State, Governor Wike prudently ensures that the people of Rivers State benefit from the dividends of good governance and democracy, stressing that he deserved commendation.
According to him, “I am very happy with him and I will want him to keep it up as I appeal to his detractors to allow him to further take the state to a new level” adding that parties will come and go and the elections are over and so there is need for all to join hands with him to move the state forward.
He sued for peace in the state to allow Governor Wike to carry out more developmental projects, describing peace as the panacea for development.
The Ogu monarch also enjoined the contractors handling the Eleme-Woji road to expedite action and ensure its completion before the rainy season sets in, pointing out that it is a major road of commercial activities.
The royal father also used the forum to thank Governor Wike for appointing some illustrious sons of the area into his cabinet including the Commissioner for Sports, Hon Boma Iyaye, the Director-General, Rivers State Liaison Office, Abuja, Mr Vincent Nimieboka, the Special Advisor on Inter-Party Affairs, and Barr Chris Itamunoala, among others, further pledged the unallowed support of the people to the present government in the state.
