Rivers APC Accuses Governor Wike Of Squandering N60 Billion In 30 Days

The Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused governor Nyesom Wike of squandering over N60 Billion in his first 30 days in office.
Chairman of the state APC, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, in a statement today in Port Harcourt said: “In what is clearly a tale of the absurd, Wike’s rubber stamp State House of Assembly has approved a whopping sum of N30 Billion within 30 days for expenditure without any project attached. Apart from this N30 Billion,
the administration of Governor Chbuike Amaechi left the sum of N7.5 Billion, plus the N23 Billion released to the State from the Federation Account and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), making the total funds available for Wike to squander at over N60 Billion within 30 days,” Ikanya said.
He lamented that within the 30 days, which rank among the worst in the history of Rivers State, Wike has neither initiated nor embarked on any project apart from ordering a trailer load of his favourite Lexus XIII drink, a bottle of which costs N1.5 million, and sharing the remaining billions of naira with Madam Patience Jonathan, INEC officials and others that supervised the killing of Rivers State people so that Wike would become Governor.
“While Governors of States like Kaduna, Bauchi, Sokoto Abia, Lagos, Delta and Adamawa that were sworn-in the same date with Wike are initiating and executing projects aimed at improving the standard of living of their people, the Rivers State Care-Taker Governor is busy supervising the liquidation of the economy of Rivers State through acts of squandermania unknown to modern governance in the entire world. Wike has succeeded within 30 days to turn Rivers State to one of the dirtiest States in Nigeria without security and in ensuring that our people now sleep with one eye opened!” [myad]
