Former Jigawa State Governor, Dr Sule Lamido has advised the leadership of the All Progressives Congress ( APC) at all levels to learn the art and science of leadership and projects delivery from Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
This is as the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike declared this is not the time for leaders to make excuses as the people expect their leaders to deliver on their campaign promises.
Both leaders spoke during the commissioning of the reconstructed Ozuoba-Rumosi road in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Tuesday.
The road was commissioned by the immediate past governor of Jigawa State, Dr Sule Lamido.
Dr Sule Lamido said that the leadership of the APC is learning on the job after their electoral victory, pointing out that they have embarrassed Nigeria internationally through their failure to work for Nigerians.
He said: “Only PDP Governors are working. We in PDP, care and we are concerned. If we are giving a responsibility, we discharge it creditably. Governor Wike has done very well. I extend the gratitude of the entire PDP family to Governor Wike for his performance “.
He said APC cannot work for Nigerians because the party lacks the capacity for pro-people governance , they only grabbed power for the sake of it and not for service.
The former governor called on Nigerians to build understanding amongst themselves for the promotion of unity, peace and prosperity.
In his remarks, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike said: “Whether there is economic recession or not, I will always fulfill my campaign promises to the people of the state.
“They people have played their part by voting us. Therefore, we have a responsibility to work for our people. They don’t deserve excuses.”
Governor Wike explained that the Ozuoba-Rumosi road is a direct reward to the people of Akpor Kingdom for their support. He said that the community was forgotten by the previous administration, hence his resolve to reconstruct the road linking them with their kith and kin in neighbouring communities.
Earlier, the Works Commissioner, Mr Iheanyichukwu Harrison said the road was so deplorable that the people of the area were cut off from their neighbours.
The highpoint of the commissioning of the road project was the defection of hundreds of APC members to the PDP is appreciation of Governor Wike’s efforts.
