Since he assumed office on May 29, 2015, Wike has been widely acclaimed for his infrastructure strides in Rivers and its attendant impact on the state’s development.

The governor has, at several fora, vowed not to rest on his oars until his last day in office.

He said: “The only way we can show gratitude to the people for the confidence they reposed in us is to continue to serve them with all our heart and might.”

“I will continue to commission projects until the last day. We can’t stop. We were elected to serve the people. We will continue to offer quality services to our people.

“Even our worst critics will agree that we have delivered excellently on our campaign promises. By God’s grace we will finish strong and our incoming governor, Siminalayi Fubara will continue in our legacy of quality service to our people.”
