Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has declared that Rivers State is a testament of good governance , with Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike as a shinning advertisement for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Addressing journalists after embarking on projects inspection with Governor Wike across Port Harcourt, Obio/Akpor and Eleme Local Government Areas, Senator Ekweremadu urged other governors to visit Rivers State to witness first hand the definition of good governance.
He also praised Governor Wike for his direct connection with the ordinary people of the state, noting that the people appreciate the governor for delivering the dividends of democracy.
Senator Ekweremadu said: "What I have seen these few hours inspecting projects with the governor reinforces my belief in true federalism. Nigeria’s best option is true federalism, a situation where every state will develop at its own pace .
"Any person from any part of Nigeria can come here and reside with access to the good things of life. I have seen Street lights, good roads and vibrant economic activities everywhere with new houses springing up. Government is working here".
He added: "Governor Wike has restored faith in government as far as Rivers State is concerned. In other places, people are losing faith in government. Here in Rivers State you can see dividends for the votes cast for the PDP.
"I believe that once other states emulate what is happening in Rivers State, Nigeria will be better".
He stated that the falsehood being peddled about the security situation in Rivers State should be disregarded as the state is marching forward.
Senator Ekweremadu said: "People are very happy with the governor. We saw people praising the governor wherever we went. He does not need security to move around. The connection between Governor Wike and the citizens is splendid.
"Rivers State is a testament to good governance and I thank the governor for bringing humility and performance to bear in his discharge of duties".
He said that the leaders and members of the PDP are proud of the efforts of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike since May 29, 2015.
The Deputy Senate President stated that by his superlative performance, Governor Wike has made it impossible for the opposition to make an inroad into Rivers State.
He thanked the contractors of the projects visited for doing a quality work.
Project sites visited include: NBA Law Centre, Port Harcourt Civic Centre, Woji-Akpajo Road with bridges, Elelenwo-Akpajo Road and Port Harcourt Pleasure Park.
