Rivers State chapter of Labour
Party has urged Gov. Nyesom Wike to constitute his cabinet immediately to
ensure effective governance.
Mr. Prince Reuben, the state’s
chairman of the party, made the call at a news conference in Port Harcourt, on
Monday.
According to Reuben, Governor
Wike’s refusal to set-up a cabinet four months after the election is
undemocratic.
He said the party was giving the
governor a seven-day period to appoint a cabinet in the interest of the people.
Reuben said the party withdrew
its petition challenging the victory of Wike in court to enable the people
enjoy governance and dividends of democracy.
“It is becoming worrisome that
after four months in office as the state governor, Wike has refused to properly
constitute the state executive council.
“This must be condemned, we must
all rise to the demand for good governance and dividend of democracy, the
government cannot be a one man show,” he said.
The chairman further said that
his party would mobilise civil society groups and other stakeholders in the
state to protest against the governor’s refusal to appoint cabinet members.
He also urged Wike to concentrate
on governance by initiating capital projects.
“The governor should also revisit
the Greater Port Harcourt City project. Rivers people need to see what the huge
financial resources of the state are being used for,” he said.
