Update: God’ll give you a successor like you – Bauchi Governor

Governor, Bala Mohammed has expressed optimism that Governor Nyesom Wike would find s successor who would protect his legacy and ensure continuity in the conduct of government activity.

 The Bauchi State Governor made the remark in Port Harcourt even as he said his Rivers State counterpart would  be required at the centre to replicate the good work he is doing in Rivers.

Mohammed lauded Wike for the landmark projects he is delivering, saying it was evidence of his love for the Rivers people.

Commissioning the Oruabali Flyover in Port Harcourt, the Governor noted that Wike as a second tenure governor has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is focused and determined to affect lives.

According to him, Wike would be required to play a role in the advancement of the country by stepping up to the national level.

“I am not a praise singer”, Governor Mohammed reiterated while speaking at the occasion, stressing that if Wike is not a performing governor, he would not step foot on Rivers soil.

Mohammed said Rivers State has shot ahead of Lagos, Kano and Abuja in terms of the provision of infrastructure.

He however acknowledged the performance of the Kaduna State Governor who is from the opposition party.

But he observed that Wike’s approach to development was structured, explaining that it was for that reason that he has made 80% payment even before embarking on the construction of the Rumkrushe/Elimgbu flyover.

He recalled that in addition to commissioning Oruabali Flyover, he flagged off the construction of the Rumukruoshe – Elimgbu Flyover on Monday.

Governor Mohammed noted that the PDP is proud of the achievements of the Rivers Governor who has ensured continuity in government by completing abandoned projects and initiating new ones.

Governor Nyesom Wike earlier said there were people in Rivers State who initially expressed doubts about the sincerity of purpose of his government.

He said, to the glory of God, his government has delivered on its promise to construct 10 flyovers as part of its urban renewal and development plan.

He announced that additional Flyovers built by his administration would be ready for commissioning in April.

Wike acknowledged that now that his administration has matched words with action in providing quality projects for the benefit of the people, it is now time to  “play the politics of ‘stomach infrastructure’.”

He noted that there were people who thought that from day one that he would share money on the streets.

But he said that given the fact that he has kept his promises, it was time to turn attention to the welfare of the masses.
