Rivers APC faults Wike on claims of safety for investment

Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has refuted claims by the state governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, that “despite the propaganda being sponsored by the opposition, Rivers State is safe for investments and development.” The governor was
reported to have made the statement while speaking to the leadership of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, Saturday. 

He had said “It is important for everyone to know that Rivers State is safe and is witnessing massive development. In the next two months, we are hosting many national events. We have already hosted several national events in the last two months.” 

But APC in a statement, yesterday, said it believed “that statement by the governor was poles apart from reality on ground. Therefore, we would like the governor to make public just five of the new investments that have flowed into Rivers State since he became governor in May 29, 2015. 

We have not asked for 10, we are asking him to name five new investments that have been established in Rivers State.

 “We take exception to serial dishonest and misleading narratives relentlessly pushed into public space by the top echelon of the Rivers State Government. This may have been fashionable in the dark ages but definitely disgusting in the 21st Century.

 “The truth remains that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, government in Rivers State must take responsibility for the present security basket case across the state and do the needful to stamp out insecurity just like the previous state government led by Chibuike Amaechi fought the scourge to a standstill up to May, 2015.”
