Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has said that the Federal Government is only trying to deceive Rivers people with the ground breaking ceremony for the Bonny Deep Seaport, and other projects in the state, today.
The Governor, disclosed this during the commissioning of the newly reconstructed Obelle/Ibaa road in Ikwerre local government area, yesterday.
He berated the Federal Government over the projects, stating that they are not what the state needs.
“Let them tell us what they had done for Rivers state. I hear they want to flag-off railways narrow gauge from here (Rivers state) to Maiduguri. Is that what we need?” he said.
“They want to do Bonny Deep Sea Port, for how many years now? Before the drawing will come out, has the government not gone. In their hearts, they know they’ll not do it. They only have this year, next year is political year. Tell them we cannot be deceived any longer,” he added.
He stated that the People’s Democratic Party, is the only party that has the zeal, and commitment to develop the country.
