Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers
state, says governors in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are inaugurating
“key projects” unlike their counterparts in the All Progressives Congress (APC)
“commissioning wheel barrows.”
Wike said this on Friday when the
newly-constructed governor’s office in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state, was inaugurated.
He said while Ayodele Fayose,
governor of the state — from the PDP — had meager resources at his disposal, he
was able to deliver important projects to the people of the state.
“We are happy to be part of PDP
states commissioning key projects unlike the APC states where wheel barrows,
hired tractors and bags of mangoes are commissioned,” he said.
In 2017, Samuel Ortom, governor
of Benue state, was said to have donated wheel barrows to youth in the state as
part of his empowerment programme.
Wike said Fayose has performed
well because “he believes in massive development in line with the PDP
manifesto”.
The governor accused the federal
government of “deceiving” Nigerians with “lies” in the form of change mantra.
He said the country is “sliding
into anarchy” and urged citizens to vote against the APC during the 2019
general election.
He also urged the current
administration to “emulate” former president Goodluck Jonathan “who showed that
the unity of the country is paramount by conducting credible polls.”
“Jonathan knows what democracy is
all about. He never used his power to imprison the opposition. He never allowed
anyone to shed blood for political gains. That is not the case today,” he said.
“Nigeria is sliding into anarchy.
Nigerians were deceived by the change lies. Nigerians should show that they are
tired of this fruitless change.”
