Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike said his desire to develop Rivers State is borne out of his commitment and love for the state, irrespective of the financial resource available in the state. 

Governor Wike made the assertion at the inauguration of Isiodu Road in Emohua Local Government Area, performed by the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe.

He observed that while the state might have money, it is also the commitment of those entrusted with power to be able to deploy the resources to develop it for the overall benefit of the citizenry.

Governor Wike emphasized that the business of elected officers is to solve problems confronting the people and not to give excuses pointing out that he has fulfilled his campaign promise to the people of Emohua Local Government Area.

The Governor also recalled his promise to touch every Local Government Area in the state with projects and expressed gratitude to God that he has been able to accomplish his promise to Rivers people.

He restated his promise to the people of Emohua Local Government to construct Ngbuitanwo road, the internal roads in Ogbakiri as well as link Isiodu to Ogbodo community in Ikwerre Local Government Area and urged the people to continue to support the PDP government in the state.

Inaugurating the road, the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe called on the Federal Government to judiciously implement the federal budget by putting in place basic infrastructure that will impact on the lives of the citizenry as exemplified by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike. 

Senator Abaribe noted that the non-implementation of the federal budget by the All Progressives Congress, APC led federal government due to excuses, after a well thought out input by lawmakers has hindered development in various parts of the country like the Enugu-Port Harcourt Highway. 

He described Governor Wike as an ambassador, a role model and a shining light of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP and lauded him for deploying the state resources to impact on the lives of Rivers people. Earlier in his remarks and project description, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Dr. Clifford Ndu Walter noted the deplorable state of the road before its construction, saying the road was built to stand the test of time with high level of durability
