Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said he passionately dislike abandoned projects saying he cannot award jobs if there’s no money on ground
Wike reiterated that his administration would ensure there were funds available before awarding projects.
“If I award a job and there is no money, you will say I’ve abandoned the projects. It’s worse. It is better not to award the project, than award it and abandon it. We have awarded it and said that this project must be completed in six months’ time and we have mobilised the contractor,” he said.
However, he urged Rivers people to hold him responsible for what his administration had vowed to deliver within its lifespan.
The Governor mocked peddlers of propaganda against his administration, who alleged that Elekahia community, among Rebisi communities, had been denied projects.
“You know in politics, people are good at propaganda. I’m sure, so many of you, people have told you I was not going to do anything for the Elekahia community. I’m sure”, he said.
The Governor noted that no good politician like him could neglect Elekahia community that had remained a stronghold of political support to his administration.
