Senator Rochas Okorocha, has on Monday, praised the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, calling him a dogged and an astute Politician, Page 36 learnt.
Speaking during the commissioning of Rumueche/Rumuakunde Ohna Awuse Road, in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, Senator Okorocha added that he is a senior brother to Governor Wike, adding that, he may not possess the notorious behavioural pattern of the Rivers State Governor.
He said: “You are one of the most controversial Politicians in Nigeria, because of your political rascality and doggedness, and astuteness.
“I am here as your senior brother, but please do not attribute me to the behavioural pattern of Wike. Rochas is simple and decent, and I am not as controversial, though sometimes I am being tagged for those iberiberised Politicians.”
Senator Okorocha however, commended Governor Wike for completing the projects started by his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, despite their political differences.
He therefore, used the opportunity to call on Political Leaders across the country, to always put aside their personal and political differences, in the interest of the people.
He added: “On arrival since yesterday, I have made my personal inquiries. One of the shocking things you have done in Rivers State despite the Real Madrid Academy, The Fun Place, Mother And Child Hospital, the flyovers, one thing you have done is to make government a continuum.
“In other words, there is no difference between the past Governor and present Governor. By continuing to continue the projects of your predecessor, even when you are not the best of friends, this is highly commendable.”
