Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has reiterated that the mandate he has as governor comes directly from the people of the state who trooped out in their numbers to vote for him on April 11 and 12.
Governor Wike maintained that the acceptance his administration has been enjoying was further consolidated by the celebrations on the streets of Port Harcourt, Obio/Akpor and Ikwerre Local Government Areas during his regular project inspections.
Addressing journalists after inspecting road and school projects in Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas, Governor Wike declared that he is further inspired to deliver on his covenant with the people by their appreciation of his good works.
He assured the people that he will never be distracted as he had made a commitment to serve them and would ensure that they get the benefits of standing by him.
He pledged that he would drive the revival of Port Harcourt City to its logical conclusion, noting that the old Garden City, would re-emerge at the end of the urban renewal programme of his administration.
Governor Wike said: “The people are happy. They appreciate what we are doing for them. We want to turn Port Harcourt and its environs around and re-establish the Garden City that will be a pride of the nation.”
“We will use the dry season to accomplish the revival programme within the limits of available resources. In Diobu, out of the 22 kilometres being reconstructed, we have achieved 17 kilometres.
The remaining aspects of the Diobu roads have reached 70 per cent completion.
“The mandate the people freely gave to us will be utilised effectively for their wellbeing. People came out overwhelmingly and voted for us and we are doing what they want.”
