The Bauchi Governor who spoke at the Flagg off of the Rumukruoshe/Elimgbu flyover said that the Rivers government has beaten both Abuja and Lagos to the rush to provide better infrastructure.
Although the Bauchi Governor said he has indicated interest to vie for the presidency and cited projects in his State, he said he knew that Wike has done better than him.
Mohammed said it is amazing that with one year to go, Governor Wike who is serving his second tenure is delivering projects as if he is doing his very first tenure.

According to him, there is nothing Wike could offer him that he doesn’t have, but he said he was only stressing Wike’s fine points, saying whereas he wasn’t hero worshipping him, Rivers people are lucky to have such a wonderful leader.
Earlier, Governor Wike warned the Ikwerre people against what he referred to as incessant chieftaincy wrangling.
He said it was disheartening that rather maximise opportunity that is staring them in the face, they were rather interested in mundane issues.
He however warned Rumkrushe and Elimgbu chiefs to stay away from any thing which could impair the construction of the flyover project.
