Vandalism of Rivers State
Government House: Wike says
it may take three months for
him to operate from the
facility
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike has stated that
with the level of the looting of
furniture, facilities and cars in
Government House, Port
Harcourt by the immediate
past Governor, Rotimi
Amaechi, it may take three
months before he starts
operating from the
Government House.
This is even as the Senate
President, David Mark stated
that the PDP will return to
power at the Federal level in
2019 as Nigerians will yearn
for the party after four years
of APC.
Both leaders spoke in Port
Harcourt on Sunday during a
post inauguration thanksgiving
service.
Wike said an inspection of the
Government House, Port
Harcourt revealed that all the
bullet proof doors, furniture
cars, crested carpets, curtains
and windows were stolen by
the former administration.
He said: “ As I speak with you,
everything has been
vandalised. I will not enter
the Government House in the
next two or three months.
“There is no vehicle in
Government House, not even
one. Yet the former governor
talks about corruption”.
He, however, said that the
ugly situation left behind by
the former Governor will not
stop his administration from
developing Rivers State. Wike
said he will not disappoint
the PDP and the people of the
state.
In his remark, Senate
President David Mark noted
that PDP will only experience
opposition for years as most of
the achievements of the party
would be glaring to Nigerians
within this period.
He said Rivers State is now
the cornerstone of the PDP
nationwide, adding that
Governor Wike should rise to
the occasion and deliver
democracy dividends in line
with expectations of the
people who voted him.
The post inauguration
thanksgiving service reception
was attended by Deputy
Senate President Ike
Ekweremadu, Speaker of the
House of Representatives,
Emeka Ihedioha, Senator Hope
Uzodinma, Senators-elect from
the South-South and South-
East, Acting National Chairman
