Legal luminary and human rights activist, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) says Governor Nyesom Wike has through the execution of numerous infrastructural projects, demonstrated transparency and accountability in the management of the resources of Rivers State.
Ozekhome noted that accountability, which he said has been the hallmark of the Wike’s administration, is the essence of governance and the essence of government.
He made the assertion while speaking at the inauguration of the GRA Junction Flyover, on Saturday.

“He has shown that it is not enough for a governor to get his monthly allocation from the revenue account under Section 162 of the constitution but without showing evidence of what you are using that money for.”
He further commended the governor for showing that investing in human capacity is the best way to live in the heart of the people.
“He has shown that he possesses the capacity to develop the people, not just in terms of infrastructure, but in terms of their education and human capacity building.”
In his address, Governor Wike asserted that the quality projects executed in the state are sufficient testament to electorate in the state to continue to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when the elections comes.
He advised who ever will become his successor not to award projects if there is no money to complete them as agreed.
“Anybody that is taking over from us, know that we have campaigned for the person. The campaign is over. That is why everybody is jostling to be governor because they know what I have done. I have cleared the road, so everybody is saying I want to be governor.”
