Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has declared that the remaining part of his administration in the state will be to feed the stomach.
The government stated that he has worked very hard for the people of the state and has fulfilled virtually all his campaign promises.
Wike in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, said; “Now that we have done virtually everything we have promised Rivers people, this is the time now we have to play politics of stomach infrastructure.”
“What people do not understand; people think when you are in government, from first day, you should be sharing money. I said, I won’t do that.”
“I have to work for the people of the State. Now that we have worked, the remaining period will be to feed your stomach.”
“There is time for everything. Now, the time has come. We have to start to empower our people. The empowerment is for those who have been patient.”
“So, every local government, every community will have a pattern of how we are to empower our people.”
“As a government, when there is unemployment, some people bring out what they called welfare scheme to be able to cushion the level of poverty in the society. That is what we are going to apply here.”
The Governor made this revelation at the inauguration of the Oro-Abali flyover at the Kaduna Street Junction along Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway in Port Harcourt.
