The Concerned Rivers People (CRP), a grassroot political pressure group, has hailed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike over the massive infrastructural projects he has undertaken in the nation’s capital in the last eighteen months.
The commendation came at the end of an extraordinary executive meeting of the group held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital. During the marathon meeting, members of the Executive Committee of the CRP, observed with delight the giant strides of Wike and the impact he has made in addressing the infrastructure gaps in Abuja within a very short period of time.
In a communiqué issued at the end of their deliberations, the group resolved to pass a vote of confidence on Wike in order to spur him into more action.
According to the communiqué, members of the CRP said they were not surprised at the performance of Wike having been witnesses to his equally superlative performance during his tenure as the Governor of Rivers State.
” Our own dear leader and political icon has changed the narrative in the art of governance because he deploys all his energy and intellect into any governance role that he gets.
” What he is doing in Abuja is a clear testimony that he is Mr Project. He has changed the architectural landscape of Abuja, constructing multi billion naira roads and bridges to ease free flow of traffic in and around the city of Abuja.”
Public Relations Officer of the group, Alex Nwogu disclosed that at the last count, Wike has executed over 200 infrastructure projects since he assumed office in 2023.The CRP, he said, regards the FCT Minister as a worthy ambassador of the people of Rivers State.
