Former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan has stated that the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike merits the title of Mr Projects because of his pro-people projects.
Speaking before commissioning the 22.3 kilometer Airport—Ipo-Omademe -Ozuoha Road in Ikwerre Local Government Area, yesterday, Jonathan said that the title of Mr Projects was not an exaggeration as facts on ground attest to it.
Jonathan said: “The whole country calling Governor Wike, Mr Projects is not an exaggeration. It is not political. PDP governors don’t just talk about projects, they do projects.”
The former president said that if any opposition politician refuses to see the numerous projects in Rivers State, it was his choice.
Jonathan said that he lived in Rivers State after his secondary school days up to 1998, pointing out that the outstanding transformation of Port Harcourt was obvious.
He commended Wike for reaching the hinterland through the Airport—Ipo-Omademe -Ozuoha Road, adding that that the Rivers State governor deserves the support of the people.
“Whenever Governor Wike invites me for a project commissioning, I am happy. The governor is an example of a good leader, a committed leader.
“What Governor Wike has done in three years is quite commendable. The quantum of projects are scattered across the state. Last year, I was here to commission the second Nkpogu Bridge and today I am here to commission a road to the hinterland”, he said.
He said that everyone believes in Governor Wike because of his efforts at projects’ delivery.
In his remarks, Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike said the PDP governors were committed to the development of their states.
