Wike blew N120bn in 100 days –APC

Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) alleged yesterday that the state governor, Nyesom Wike, squandered more than N120 billion in his first 100 days in office.
In a statement released yesterday by Davies Ikanya, state chairman of APC insisted Wike wasted 100 days by merely engaging in falsehood and propaganda.

The party detailed how the governor allegedly spent the money. Ikanya said Wike “squandered” N30 billion borrowed shortly after assuming office, N10 billion left by the Rotimi Amaechi administration and over N80 billion accruing to the state from internally generated revenue and the Federation Account.
“Chief Wike represents everything that should not be found anywhere near the corridors of power. He personifies inaction, profligacy, corruption, maladministration and vendetta.

“Wike has not initiated any meaningful project in Rivers State since he forcibly assumed office on May 29 through the blood of Rivers people and in connivance with the corrupt State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dame Gesila Khan. Apart from setting up the vindictive Judicial Commission of Inquiry and awarding contracts to his companies for the filling of potholes in Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor local government areas, Chief Wike cannot justify the expenditure expended by his administration.”
The statement further accused Wike of appropriating roads constructed by Amaechi, noting that no quality road could be constructed within six months let alone 100 days.
