Former Deputy Speaker of the
Rivers State House of Assembly, Leyii Kwanee has called on appointees of Rivers
State Governor, Nyesom Wike to resign so as to allow the Governor take more
prudent decisions.
Kwanee was speaking in reaction
to the release of one million dollars by the State government for twenty eight
students studying overseas after the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer
of Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency, RSSDA, Larry Pepple.
Managing Director/CEO of RSSDA,
Larry People resigned his appointment because of what he described as the lack
of vision of Governor Wike for the intervention agency set in 2008.
However, the ex-lawmaker, Kwanee
queried the Governor for waiting to be pressurized before taking “easy
decisions”.
Kwanee who represented Khana
Constituency two in the 7th state Assembly appealed to the Governor to consider
the plight of the remaning Rivers’ students abroad.
He said, “We have to be grateful
to Larry Pepe for making the great sacrifice of resigning so that the Governor
can come to his senses.
“If Larry hadn’t resigned, maybe
reasoning wouldn’t have prevailed. But what baffles me is why should Governor
Wike wait to be pushed to the wall before he takes a salient decision that
affects our young ones.
“Though we are grateful for his
release of $1m for only 28 students, what then happens to the remaining 272
that are scattered in different institutions overseas.
“Maybe more Commissioners or
Heads of Agencies should begin to resign so that the Governor can come to his
senses.
“If the reports we are hearing
that some of the students have become beggars abroad, then it will be wicked
for the Governor to ignore our children in such unwarranted circumstance.”
