Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has advised his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, to accept the reality that his political party lost the rerun elections and allow the state government focus on its rebuilding plans.
Wike said responsibility of reviving the state, after the immediate past administration failed to use N3 trillion that accrued to the state under its watch is enormous.
Wike said this when he declared open a retreat on strengthening capacity, efficiency and service delivery for sustainable development for top government officials at Onne Multi-Purpose Centre yesterday. He said the administration has deployed resources and expertise to correct the failures of the Amaechi administration.
“I call on the former governor and leader of the APC in the state to accept the reality that the rerun elections have woefully been lost by his party and that Rivers people have, again, overwhelmingly re-affirmed their confidence, trust and preference for the PDP.
“Therefore, spare us the agony of unnecessary hostility and allow Rivers to move forward in peace and security. We expect you to use your high office and connections to attract meaningful development projects to the state as I did during my time; not senseless and unpatriotic distractions. Enough is enough. The governor noted that all key projects initiated by the Amaechi administration were either abandoned or not executed at all.
