Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said that with the total collapse of security in parts of the country, it is obvious that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government cannot be trusted with the future of the country.
Worried that insecurity is spiralling out of control, the governor told Nigerians to reject the APC in 2023 because the party only has tales of killings and kidnappings.
He made the statement Tuesday at the flag-off ceremony for the construction of Etche Campus of Rivers State University in Abara Town of Etche Local Government Area on Tuesday.
He urged: “Don’t listen to those people who lie to you. Those who cannot provide security for Nigeria. Are you seeing the killings every day now? Are you not worried about this country. Is there any hope that they can offer to this country again?”
He boasted that, unlike APC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) makes promises and is committed to fulfilling them without giving excuses.
According to him, his administration is on the first phase of a 45-day projects flag-off and commissioning that is unprecedented in the history of the country.
The governor went on: “You know the difference between us and them. You can see us every day, moving from one local government to another. It is either we are flagging off or commissioning projects.
“They are not doing so because there’s nothing for them to do. They don’t have anything to show. We started on the 27th of May, 2021 and we will end the first phase on the 10th of July 2021.
“That’s more than a month of flagging-off or commissioning projects. Who has ever done so in this country? Have we not secured a place already in Guinness Book of records?”
Speaking further, Governor Wike urged Etche people not to be indecisive in their resolve to pitch tent with PDP and deliver more votes to the party that brought development to them.
