ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has boasted that the projects executed by his administration are enough to ‘buy’ the votes of the electorate in the 2023 general elections.
The Governor said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State is not bothered about the concept of enticing voters with money.
Channels Television quoted him as saying: “When you are talking about vote buying, this is the vote buying; we are using our work for the people to support us. So, people should not bother themselves that people will carry money. We have used Ahoada dualisation and others.”
Wike made the claims on Wednesday during the commissioning of the dualized Ahoada-Omoku road in the Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state.
The Governor urged the people of the area to remain steadfast with his administration which has recognized them more than any other in the state.
Also, he warned against the encroachment into government right of way by property developers.
He, thereafter, announced the award of the construction of the second phase of the road which is not less than 18km to Omoku, an oil and gas hub of the state, before he commissioned the completed first phase of about 6.2km.
