Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has warned party faithfuls currently doing consultations over who becomes the next governor of the State, not to extend the consultation to the PDP national chairman or the National Working Committee of the party.
Wike said this in a statement during the inauguration of the Oyigbo-Okoloma Road in Oyigbo Local Government Area on Wednesday.
He said party faithfuls should do their consultations in the state because it is Rivers people that will vote for them.
“There is calm in my state about those who want to be governor. What I have told them is to go and do your consultation, but nobody should go and consult the national chairman, nobody should consult NWC. Do your consultation here because it is the people here that will vote,” he said.
He noted that the Oyigbo -Okoloma road project, is a federal road that connects neighbouring States like Abia, Akwa-Ibom and Cross River, but was allowed to fail completely.
He also disclosed that a company that won the bid for Afam power station came by to indicate interest to partner with the Rivers State government for the reconstruction of the road.
“After it was agreed that the company will bear a percentage of the cost, they disappeared,” he added.
