Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad
Abubakar III, has said that the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has shamed
his ‘enemies of progress, with the level of projects he has carried out in the
state.
Abubakar said that Wike, has
opened the eyes of Nigerians to the true meaning of good governance through the
delivery of quality projects.
The monarch said this while
commissioning the State Council of Traditional Rulers’ Secretariat Complex
built by Wike’s administration yesterday.
He said, “We will continue to
commend you as long as the people commend you. I call you Mr. Opener because
you have opened eyes to what governance should be. What you are doing will
endear you to the people.
“We saw these projects with our
eyes, nobody told us. You cannot say that this governor has not worked. Even
the enemies of progress will acknowledge that something is being done.”
The monarch noted that government
was a process where the leader continued to do what was right, and praised
Governor Wike for doing what was right for Rivers people.
He further urged the governor to
concentrate on agriculture, especially oil palm production, when the people
actualise their support for him next year.
According to him, no matter the
situation, the votes of Rivers people must count and the people be allowed to
determine their leaders.
Speaking at the ceremony, the
governor said that his administration resolved to construct a befitting place
where the traditional rulers would share ideas and contribute to the
development of the state.
