The All Progressives Congress Rivers has disagreed with Governor Nyesom Wike’s decision to begin construction of a ninth flyover at Rumuepirikom, Obio-Akpo Local Government Area of the state capital.
The statement also quoted Commissioner for Works, Elloka Tasie-Amadi, as saying that apart from the flyover project, the government approved the dualization of the first phase of the Ahoada- Omoku Road as well as internal roads in Omerelu. Tasie-Amadi said contract for the dualisation of the first phase of Ahoada Omoku Road had been awarded to Julius Berger.But the Commissioner explained the construction of Omerelu internal roads had been awarded to Monier Construction Company Limited at 4.4bn.“This project would also be funded by deduction of N500million monthly from the state’s Internally Generated Revenue,” he said.
He said: “What justifies the need to build the 9th overhead bridge in Rumuprikom at this time? Can the Rivers State Government say that these overland bridges are in any way helping to place food on the table of Rivers people? “These people, who do not, or have not had the opportunity of producing state governors are no slaves. They are also not conquered people.
He said: “Besides, the money that government is expending on projects primarily in two local government areas belongs to the Rivers people. It does not belong to an individual.
Bless you GovWike. Just signal your intention to run for the presidency and I ll campaign for you if ProfOsinbajo is not running
