He said:

“When APC came on board, they had no programme. They had no plan; the only agenda they had was to flush out PDP from the government because we were performing; because we were organised because we were committed because we are compassionate and very humane.

“They (APC) can’t think. They have no vision, they have no feeling, they have no compassion, they are there for the power and the power is there tormenting them, because the power has been abused.”

The governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, had earlier explained that his development programme is implemented to create a conducive environment that offers Rivers people more opportunities to actualise their potentials.

Wike said the Rumuji -Ibaa-Obelle -Isiopko road has been used as a campaign tool by politicians who failed to fulfil such promise when elections were over.

He stated:

“I’m sure, all those from Isiopko, Obele, Ibaa and Rumuji, will look back and reflect on how this road was. Do not forget it easily."
