Nobody Will Complete Any Of My Projects – Gov Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has boasted that no project initiated by his administration will be left uncompleted at the end of his 8-year tenure in 2023.

The governor stated this during the inauguration of the Rumuekini/Aluu Road, traversing Obio-Akpor and Ikwerre Local Government Areas, performed by former Secretary to the Federal Government, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim on Tuesday.

Wike stressed that his successor would have to initiate his own projects as he/she would not be burdened with uncompleted projects after he leaves office.

Wike said, “I have said, those of you and your communities who stood firm when somebody thought he was god. Because you committed to following us, there is nothing that will be given to you that will be too much.

“Nobody that will succeed me will complete any of my projects because I will complete all my projects before I go. I won’t leave any project burden for my successor. When the new person comes, let him initiate his own projects.

“Before now, APC said we are doing roads only in Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor Local Government. Now, they can’t talk again. We have commissioned projects in Khana, Gokana, Eleme. The other day we were in Akuku-Toru, yesterday we were in Emohua. We are a government for every Rivers person and every local government.

“I have told anybody who cares to listen, we are not those who are afraid that people will come after them so they want to run into another party. I am not running to anywhere. The All Progressive Congress (APC) government that promised to solve the problems of Nigeria before assumption of power has kept giving excuses to justify its failure.

“How can I run from success to problem. People should ordinarily go from problem to success not the other way round. Rivers State is an asset to PDP.

“We have told Nigerians that PDP is the only hope of this country. It is a party that will make promise and fulfil it. We are proud to roll out projects every day and this is the second week of project commissioning.

Speaking during also, former SGF Anyim said he was delighted to associate with Governor Wike because he had demonstrated through his projects that he was truly bonded with the Rivers people and knows their needs.

Anyim said Wike’s good leadership qualities had enabled him to conceive projects that were tailored to the needs of the people, and eliminate the possibility of having wild elephant projects.

“Governor Wike, because you commission projects, it is certain no project will be abandoned. I am proud to identify with the progress that you have made.

“I am proud to belong to PDP family. It is the spirit of PDP that is at work in your government and that spirit of PDP will come to work in Nigeria.

“When I was invited for this commissioning, I did not really appreciate the magnitude of the work, the real import of the governance Wike has brought to Rivers State.

“But as we drove down here, the impression I have is that Port Harcourt has expanded. It is only the government of the people that can expand a city to the extent that Port Harcourt has expanded.” he stated.
