Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship
candidate, Chief Nyesom Wike, has said that his administration, if elected,
will improve basic amenities in motor parks and markets. He assured that market
women and men would benefit from the special business grants that he will
institute.
Chief
Wike made this known during his campaign visits to Abali Motor Park, Creek Road
Market, Femie and Rumuokuta markets in Port Harcourt and markets in Abuluoma, a
suburb of the Rivers State capital. He also visited markets in Obio/Akpor Local
Government Area.
Wike
in company of Senator George Sekibo, Mrs Blessing Nsiegbe, member, the House of
Representatives, PDP women and youth
groups, said that the condition of markets in the state capital was deplorable
and needed urgent attention.
He
said that when he assumes office on May 29, he will take immediate steps to improve
on the sanitary condition of the markets and parks, and build sick bays,
improve on security and ensure that traders take their place in the scheme of
things in the state.
Wike
said that Rivers State traders will benefit more from the PDP as they have been
factored into the party’s development process as critical members, who
contribute their quota to state and national development.
“I
am here to interact with traders in this market because I have a comprehensive
package to ensure that they get business grants in order for them to grow their
businesses. I am here to assure you that my administration will enhance your
standard of living,” he said during an interaction with market women at the
Creek Road Market in Port Harcourt.
He
urged the traders to vote PDP all the way as the All Progressives Congress,
APC, has proved to be a party that has no agenda for the people of Rivers State
and Nigeria.
He
said after eight years, Governor Rotimi Amaechi has enmeshed himself in
corruption, using funds meant for the development of Rivers State to fund APC
and his principal, General Muhammadu Buhari.
He
said: “Your markets are in this deplorable condition because of Amaechi. He has
made it a point of duty to divert your monies for APC campaigns and to sponsor
Buhari for a campaign that is bound to fail.”
