Peterside Dakuku
Peterside also said that Governor Wike was trying to frustrate the flag-off of Bonny-Bodo road project by the Federal Government and the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, despite his outcry for the development of the state. But the state government has described the allegations by Peterside as tissues of lies. State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr Emma Okah, who spoke yesterday, said that it was unfortunate that the former governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, could choose to deliberately mislead the public. According to him, the Ministry of Education only requested that since schools were in session in the state, the planned flag-off should be done after school hours at any public school chosen for the event so as not disrupt academic exercise in the school. Dakuku had said, “Wike is the worst enemy of the people following his alleged frequent desperation and fake concern about the growth and development of the state. The Rivers State Government has been trying to frustrate the flagging off of Bodo-Bonny Road project by the Federal Government and the governor should be stop being a clog in the wheel of Rivers progress. “Wike was minister during the Goodluck Jonathan administration and oil wells belonging to Rivers State were ceded to Bayelsa without him saying anything, just as he also frustrated all efforts by the then Chibuike Amaechi administration to get back over N100bn spent on federal roads. And now, he is trying to frustrate the flagging off of Bodo-Bonny Road project that will not only employ our youth but will open up Rivers state to a new frontier. “Let me assure Governor Wike that the project will proceed as planned and completed. It will catalyse the development of Bonny and Ogoni land and the Federal Government was committed to the project and no amount of resistance will stop it. “Governor Wike lacks the capacity, ingenuity and resourcefulness to govern Rivers State and he has no single economic plan to make the state better. On one hand, he cries for development and on the other hand, he plays the ostrich. I must say that the project will go on as scheduled and I will personally lead Rivers people to protest to Government House should Governor Wike do anything to hamper the road infrastructure.”
