Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said no one should
counsel him on how to expend the N78 billion refund from the Federal
government.
Governor Wike said this while speaking with the leadership
of the Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria, IPAC at Government House, Port
Harcourt.
The governor who announced that part of the seventy-eight
billion Naira refund from the Federal government will be used to set up a
cancer centre in Rivers State, wondered why his appreciation message to
President Muhammadu Buhari was politicized.
“They politicized the fact that I wrote Mr. President ‘a
thank you’ letter. Why wouldn’t I do that. They paid other of my colleagues
their own in 2018. They did not pay us.
“We have been praying and praying and praying and
struggling, and we got an approval. We should be thankful for approving the
fund for us.
“As we speak, the money has not been released, but we alt
east say thank you for the approval. And if the Federal government decides to
pay us the money today, we will build a Cancer Centre because this state
deserves to have a cancer centre.
“All these people that are saying when the federal
government pays this money we should do this and that. I will decide which
project I will do and the one I will not do but all I know is that I will do
what is good for the entire state.
“When they enter, let them come and do their own,” Wike
said.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike added that development
projects are executed in every local government area of the state to improve
the socio-economic life of the people.
