The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, says the current administration led by Governor, Nyesom Wike has failed Rivers people.
Chairman of the party in the state, Chief, Emeka Beke in a chat with journalists yesterday, said it is doing everything humanly possible to ensure that the APC takes over power in the state in 2023.
According to him, unemployement is high in the state, noting that the previous administration led by Rt, Hon. Chibuike Amaechi generated employment for Rivers people during his time.
He stated that the party in the state will work for the success of its flagbearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023 not minding the outcome of the presidential primary.
Part of his statement reads,
“What we are doing now is that we are going round the wards, units, everywhere to campaign and make our people understand the importance of good governance in the state.
“Then make them understand why they need to change from the present PDP government to the APC-led administration in the state come 2023 because Governor Nyesom Wike has failed Rivers people.
“If you want to win elections you need to mobilize your people. So first, the people should go and get their PVCs. That is the most important thing.
“Unemployment is very high in the state. The crime rate in the state is also high. And for investors to come and invest in Rivers State, the enabling environment has to be provided by the government.
“Many youths don’t have jobs. Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, as governor then, built the Songhai farms that employed over ten thousand Rivers people. There was a fish farm in Buguma town that also employed people. Where are all of these projects today? They are gone.
