The Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has berated the All
Progressives Congress-led federal government for allegedly failing in all three
promises made to Nigerians including fighting insurgency, corruption and fixing
the economy.
The Governor expressed his disappointment on Friday at the
presentation of the 2022 appropriation bill to the Rivers State House of
Assembly.
Governor Wike said the country has never had it worse than
it is today since the Nigerian civil war in 1967.
He said, “under their watch, we have witnessed two economic
recessions in quick successions with devastating economic consequences on the
states and living standards of the people especially ordinary Nigerians and the
teeming unemployed population”.
Acknowledging that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic
contributed to the economic challenges in the country, Wike noted that “our
situation was made worse by the failure of the federal government to deal with
security challenges that have now escalated multi-dimensionally to virtually
all regions of the country “.
“They promised to tackle the insurgency, pervasive
corruption and fix the economy, they have failed woefully in all three promises
to the indignation of Nigerians”.
“I’m sure this mistake will not be repeated by Nigerians in
2023”.
