Rivers State Governor,
Nyesom Wike yesterday at the construction of a road in Bodo City, described as
unfortunate a situation where a privileged politician would swindle his people.
He accused the APC senator,
Magnus Abe who had represented Rivers South-East, of abandoning the Kpobie-Bodo
road project after allegedly collecting over N4bn to complete it.
“Any politician who can
embezzle the funds meant for the execution of a road project in his local
government area deserves our empathy. It is easier for him to insult me on
radio, but my only reply is to complete the road he abandoned because I love
Ogoni people.
“When we were completing
several projects abandoned by the immediate past administration, instead of
showing appreciation, they were insulting me on the radio. Continue...
“My commitment to the
Rivers State people is unwavering. Insults cannot stop me from developing
Rivers State and completing the projects that will improve the lives of the
people,” Governor Wike said.
He however assured the
people that the road would be completed within three months with street lights
and underground drainage.
Abe has however denied the
allegation describing it as false, adding that no money was embezzled on the
Kpopie-Bodo Road project.
