Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, Asari Dokubo, a
former Niger Delta militant leader, has revealed what he wants from the next
Governor of Rivers State that will take over from Gov. Nyesom Wike.
Speaking on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Wednesday,
Dokubo said he wants the next Governor of Rivers State to divert the wealth of
the state to investment.
According to him, he doesn’t want the next governor to be
building flyovers without investing in the people and investing to make them
stronger.
Dokubo said, “What I want the next governor to do is to
divert the wealth of Rivers people to investment. To invest in the economy of
Rivers State and to create wealth.
“That should be first and foremost to create wealth and that
is the direction of Tonye Cole [the All Progressives Congress, APC
gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State]. I would not want a governor who will
be building flyovers, and so on or who will be building skyscrapers without
investing in the people and investing to make them stronger.
“To send Rivers people to be skilled people. If you come to
Rivers State today, our people, when they finish their tertiary education, they
are not employable because the schools did not provide a good environment for
them to be employed.”
