Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has recalled how his
predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, mocked him while running to contest the 2015
governorship election in the state.
Wike recalled how Amaechi, now Minister of Transportation,
boasted that there would not be money anywhere for him to pay salary and to
provide infrastructure.
The Governor of Rivers State said this while speaking with
newsmen after the inspection of the ongoing shore protection work at the
sandfilled land at Eastern Bypass, Port Harcourt,
The governor said he had surpassed his challenges and the
people have not been left disappointed, adding that it is amazing to have
recovered such land that once served as a hideout for criminals.
The governor also said the last five years of his
administration has been remarkably successful because of the help of God.
According to Wike, “Each day I wake up I get surprised about
the things that we have achieved. In May 29, 2015 when I came in, the former
governor said that there was no going to be money anywhere to pay salaries and
not to talk about providing infrastructure. It is amazing, people wonder where
we are getting money from.”
