Wike Advocates For Good Governance

The Rivers State Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has stressed the need for good governance in order to drive developmental progress for the nation.

Wike noted that for the people to reap the dividend of democracy they was need to enthrone good governance.

The Governor disclosed this on Wednesday during a courtesy visit by the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu to the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He said “Leadership is not party affair. Leadership is about people. It is about development. For now, governance is what our people require.

“We should relegate politics to the background. Political parties as vehicles take us to a certain point for us to disembark and face governance.”

Wike however, expressed the dissatisfaction of the people of Rivers state over what he described as marginalization by the Buhari’s administration. Adding that, the state ought not to be excluded from Federal government projects other states were benefiting from.

He said “Honourable Minister, when you go back, inform Mr President that the people of Rivers State are not happy with the high level of marginalisation. Rivers State should benefit from projects like other states of the Federation.”

The Governor also cautioned those trying to run a one-party system in the country adding that, such can not work.

He said “We cannot run a one-party State. If we do that, the country will collapse. You cannot take every state. It is not possible.”
