When it comes to state projects, most Nigerian Governors needs to learn from Gov Wike.

Let's put this into perspective.

A Governor left the Government House (that is even in a rented building) in Umuahia, entered his car, invited the press and drove with over 17 cars in his convoy down to Aba to commission a fvcking T-junction?

Who in the world cares about a T-junction, except people who want to drop off sacrifices?

We've seen that Edo no be Lagos but the Kerosene man should know Abia no be Edo.
Pay pensioners their salaries, salvage the near-alienation of Itumbuzo, Ihechiowa and Ututu due to bad roads, channel some of those security votes to Ovim, Ihube and Lokpanta.

Those mean more than a fvcking flyover.

Too bad that when you've left office in 2023 your only legacy will be disgruntled workers and the new commencement time for environmental sanitation on Saturdays just to accommodate your Sabbath folks.

Lmao..

They too need something to be commissioned for them.. aren’t they part of us??

NwaAmaikpe already said it all. Coming in a long convoy just to commission a T-Junction

Good to hear this about PH..

Abeg, how developed is Abuloma? Hope the roads are great? Can't find much info about the place online.

I like the way the drains are well covered and the aesthetics too, but why all the fanfare just to commission it and all the logistics and cost? Is it necessary?

The two former Orji's almost destroyed Aba totally, but I commend your recent actions in trying to change the perception people now have of Aba as a place with terrible roads and filthy conditions. That unenviable award now goes to Ogun state

Perhaps you have not been to other parts of the country. With limited revenue, there are other states, doing better than the noise maker ,Wike. Go to Ebonyi, go to Kano

Most States in Nigeria doesn't have the money that wikes Rivers State have.
Take wike to benue or kogi he will fail as fashola failed in the ministry of works

He didn't just commission a T junction, the road leading inwards is about 3km and it is his istration that constructed it or is constructing(I am not sure if it's completed)

The road is completed.He promised a bridge across the river to link the new road to ogbor hill axis

That's why I miss Sullivan of Enugu State...


Throughout his eight years stay in the Lion Building, with his excellent performance on Urban Renewal you will never see him going to commission any project, no unnecessary fanfare, once a project is completed just start using it, most times it's even the contractors that signal to the public that they are done working so the public can start using their projects.

No unnecessary fanfare to cut sud or inauguration of project, once the state executive council approves a project, the money is paid in full and construction commence immediately.


I miss Sullivan for that!

Amen, in Obatala's name. If he finishes them, I will vote for his presidency

This disgrace of a Governor should bury his head in shame for building a "table bridge" for over 5yrs. He should be ashamed of himself. Let him emulate governors like Wike of Rivers state and Umahi of Ebonyi state who are developing their state with their allocation.

Yeye governor

No one neeed your vow

Work instead

We know Abia ����

Avis state governors are not ashamed of themselves. Posterity will judge all those who have governed that state and nothing to show for it.

Clown that has taken more than 7 years to build

W

We pray so

k
