The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, said on Monday that he would not be distracted by criticisms from the opposition, saying he would remain focused on the greater good of the state.
The governor stated this during a media tour of projects he organised for journalists in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The projects visited include Creek-Churchill-Borokiri road, Industry road, Nkpogu road, Peter Odili road -Woji road, East-West-Eleme-Onne Expressway and Eliopranwo road. Others are Wimpey-Rumuolumeni road, Evo road GRA II, Law Faculty Complex of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, -Iloabuchi-Eagle Island and Silverbird Cinema -Abali Park.
The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress earlier accused Mr. Wike of squandering N120 billion during his first 100 days in office.
The party, in a statement, accused the governor of presenting roads constructed by his predecessor, Chibuike Amaechi, as his part of his achievements.
Mr. Wike said though he expected the opposition to always find fault with the actions of his government, his development blueprint would be focused on the greater good of the state and its overall revival following the decay he inherited.
He said that his administration would continue to deliver on all fronts, stating that the era of abandoned projects were over.
The governor explained that he kick-started the revival of the state with key roads in Port Harcourt and Obio /Akpor Local Government Areas because they positively affect the lives of the people.
Mr. Wike said his administration was working to improve the lives of the people and that he derived his inspiration from the joy of the ordinary man on the street.
He said the completed roads had improved small, medium and large scale businesses across the state as clients could now access business centres.
“My inspiration flows from what makes people happy. That is why we are working hard to execute several projects in line with the promises I made to the people,” he said.
“We decided to complete ongoing projects because they are important to the wellbeing of the people. The immediate past administration could not complete these projects in eight years, but we have been able to complete them through dedicated funding and strict supervision.
“You can see the spontaneous joy and celebration everywhere we went on this media tour of projects. The people are happy with what we are doing to improve their lives and that is what drives this administration “.

The governor noted that his administration was hinged on transparency and accountability, pointing out that journalists will be briefed on regular basis on the programmes and projects of government.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
