Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has challenged the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to present their best performing states for a peer review against Rivers State.
Speaking yesterday, while commissioning 10 internal roads constructed by his administration in Ogbunabali area of Port Harcourt, Governor Wike said that the state was the centre of fast delivery of people-oriented projects in the country.
He said: “I challenge them (APC) to bring their states for a peer review against Rivers State. Let them attempt to do the projects we are doing in the state.
“Here in Rivers State, we are no longer talking about payment of salaries. We have gone beyond that level. We are busy working, talking about the delivery of different types of projects”.
The governor said his administration had a covenant with the people of the state, which is the platform upon which he deliverd projects to them.
“Whatever they say, we shall continue to do what is right. All we require is prayer from the people”, he said.
Wike disclosed that contract had been awarded for the construction of additional roads in the area and the erection of streetlights on all the constructed roads.
The governor appealed to the people to continue supporting his administration for sustained development.
In his remarks, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Works, Mr. James Enebeli, said the 10 roads in Ogbunabali had improved the economy of the area.
Spokesman for the Ogbunabali community, Chief Ogbam Ojima, commended Governor Wike for the renewal of the area.
