The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom
Wike, has applauded President
Muhammadu Buhari for approving the
release of N78.9billion refund to the
state government.
Mr Wike, who was a critic of the
president, had previously accused him of
bias, especially on the COVID-19 relief
distribution to states.
But in a widely published advertorial, Mr
Wike described Mr Buhari as unbiased
president of all the states of the
federation.
“I wish to on behalf of the Government
and people of Rivers State, appreciate
and most sincerely, thank you for
generously approving the refund of the
sum of N78.9 billion to the Rivers State
Government’s road projects in the State.
“Let me also, through you, thank the Vice
President, His Excellency, Professor
Yemi Osinbajo, GCON, as well as other
members of the Federal Executive
Council, for the support they provided to
our request.
“Mr. President has by this remarkable
and heart-warming gesture shown not
only your love for the Government and
people of Rivers State, but also,
demonstrated expressively that you are,
indeed, a President for every State of the
Federation and all Nigerians.
“I assure you that the Rivers State
Government is willing and ever ready to
cooperate and partner with the Federal
Government to advance the
developmental aspirations of Rivers
State in particular, and our nation in
general.
