Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike says claim by the Federal Government that it is jointly constructing the Bonny-Bodo Road is not true.
Wike, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, said the APC-led federal government has done nothing for Rivers people.
He said the road was supposed to be done by NLNG and the Federal Government, and while the former brought its own money the latter did not bring a dime.
“…That road was supposed to be done by NLNG and the federal government. NLNG brought their N60 billion, the federal government did not bring any Kobo,” he said.
“Now, they are trying to use the tax that NLNG is supposed to pay to do the road. The tax would have been shared from the federation account and part of the money would have come to Rivers State,” Wike added.
