A Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, Celestine Omehia has challenged former governor of the state, and now FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike to show projects he has attracted to the state as a Minister in President, Tinubu’s cabinet.
Speaking, during the flag-off of the Egwi-Afara Road in Etche Local Government Area on Wednesday, Omehia said when Amaechi was governor, the FCT Minister challenged him to show projects attracted to the state, and asked Wike to do so.
He also warned politicians against demarketing the state, adding that Rivers State should be respected as the economic life of Nigeria is in Rivers.
“Many Rivers children who are outside the State are trying to bring Rivers State down. If you demarket your own State, no person will respect your State. There are many people outside Rivers State that are trying to demarket the State. Two, three years ago, Your Excellency, some leaders of the State were saying that Ministers from Rivers State must bring projects to the State. Today, we are asking questions.
“When Rotimi Amaechi was the Minister, people were asking questions to say: what are the projects you have brought? Today, we are asking the same question: how many projects have you brought into Etche? How many projects have we received in Ikwerre Local Government? How many projects have we received in Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality? We are waiting,” he said.
