Nyesom Wike, former governor of Rivers state and Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party has alleged that what Governor Fubara will do in his one hundred days in office will shock Nigerians. This was disclosed by Vanguard newspaper. He stated that Governor Fubara has been able to award a contract worth one hundred and ninety five billion Naira in just a month of being in office, and he has already paid one hundred and fifty billion Naira for the project.
According to vanguard, Wike alleged that on Governor Fubara achievement he stands to challenge Governors of other states if they can do better than Fubara in just a month in office. However, Wike strongly believes that for Governor Fubara to award such a project just within a month in office, his one hundred days in office will shock Nigerians.
He said, “In 2007, 2008, one man was governor at a time; in a month we got N100 billion. I was Chief of Staff. We put N100, a billion in a bank; that we were going to do this road. Until today, there is no Ring Road. But today, a man one month in office has awarded a project of N195 billion and has paid N150 billion. I challenge any state, any governor today that will say he has the chest, the capacity to engage a reputable company like JB to award a N195 billion single contract and pay N150 billion. When he (Fubara) shows you 100 days, Nigerians will be shocked.”
