The former Akwa Ibom State governor said this while on an inspection tour of some project sites with Governor Wike in Rivers State on Monday.
While addressing journalists after the tour, Akapbio said Wike’s performance shows how much he loves the Rivers people.
According to him, the Rivers State governor has judiciously allocated scarce resources available to the state to infrastructural development.
Akpabio said, “Governor Wike has done more work and projects in the last two years than the Federal Government. That is my considered opinion.

“Performance is not necessarily an issue of the availability of resources. If your state gets N5 Billion, do projects of that amount.
“If you get N1 Million, do projects commensurate with that figure. For Governor Wike, he has judiciously applied the scarce resources available to the state to develop needed infrastructure.
“The resources available to Rivers State is nothing compared to that of the Federal Government. Rivers State Government gets far less than a quarter than one percent of what accrues to the Federal Government, but we can see the tremendous quality of transformation taking place in the state.”
