Rivers: I Can’t Point Out Any Serious Thing That Wike Did; People Are Saying He Built Bridges—Wilcox

Political analyst Alesta Wilcox has expressed disappointment with the development record of former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike. In a recent interview on TVC, Wilcox acknowledged that there were some projects undertaken during Wike’s tenure but questioned their impact and sustainability.

Wilcox argued that Wike’s projects were more focused on showy infrastructure than meaningful improvements to the lives of Rivers State residents.

According to Wilcox, the only notable development in recent years was the legacy project initiated by Rotimi Amaechi’s government, which had a direct positive impact on the people. In contrast, Wilcox believes that Wike’s projects, including the construction of 13 bridges within a small area of Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor, do not constitute sensible and reasonable development.

That cannot be called a sensible and reasonable development….See More
