The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, has congratulated Gov. Nyesom Wike over what it described as “being the first amongst his peers to give out several millions to states across the country.
Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Darlington Nwauju said this while reacting to Wike’s recent donations in Lagos and Abia states.
He stated that what they keep wondering is “from what part of the state budget the governor makes these humongous donations.“
part of his statement reads,
We congratulate the Governor of Rivers State for being the first amongst his peers to have doled out several millions of naira in free will donations to states across the country.
From Sokoto to Benue, from Bayelsa to Cross Rivers. Even unto funding a privately owned University in Rivers State. What we keep wondering is from what part of the state budget the Governor makes these humongous donations. Now, we hear of another N300M to wives of officials of the Lagos State Government; a state way ahead of Rivers State on all fronts and N200m in Abia state.
Indeed, our Governor maybe courting the image of a humanitarian in the eyes of the unsuspecting public, but, permit us to ask – how does these donations impact the lives of ordinary Rivers people?
