Six-year stewardship: History ‘ll vindicate Wike – Eleme council boss


The council chairman, Eleme local government Area, Rivers state, Chief Oberilomate Ollormate, has said that Governor Nyesom Wike has positively etched his footprints deeper in governance within his six years in office and as such history would vindicate him before his critics and political foes.

Ollormate, in an interview in Port Harcourt Wednesday said Governor Wike stands out shoulders high in delivering dividends of democracy among his fellow governors in the country, adding that his developmental strides across the state is unprecedented.

According to him, the governor has touched every sector of governance where several developmental projects have been either completed and commissioned or are still under construction across the state describing the governor as a man with the heart of development who came very prepared for the job.

Ollormate,  specifically commended the governor for embarking on some people’s oriented projects in Eleme Local Government especially the Akpajo-Elelenwo dual carriage way fitted with street lights, the Eleme-Oyigbo Road, the renovation of the Government Secondary School in Onne as well as the commencement of the Woji-Aleto Alesa Road. 

According to him, the project will reduce the traffic gridlock on the Eleme-Onne section of the East-West road maintaining, that the governor’s performance has been unprecedented in the history of the state in terms of project delivery assuring the governor of the unalloyed support and loyalty of the people of Eleme to his administration. 

The council boss however used the opportunity to correct the erroneous impression by some detractors of the governor and his government of non performance describing  them as Abuja politicians that are not known in Rivers State politics. 

He told the people to disregard such comments noting that such politicians failed to come come home and therefore not abreast with the transformation that has taken place in the state under the Wike administration within his 6 years in office.

The Onne-born politician who also has a track record for delivery of dividends of democracy to his Eleme people as witnessed in his stint as one time care-taker-chairman of the local government, however, assured the Eleme people of his readiness to replicate the Wike’s success story in Eleme local government and urged them to continue to support the administrations both at the state and the local government.
