Governor
of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, has said that his administration remains
open to constructive criticism.
He
made this remark on Sunday at the Royal House of Grace International Church
during the 23rd Anniversary Thanksgiving Service of the church, in
Port-Harcourt, the state capital.
Describing
his administration as a listening and responsible government, Wike said he was
ready to make amends if criticized constructively.
He
said, “We are a listening and responsible government, though we are not
perfect, but we are open to constructive criticisms and we will make amends
when criticised constructively. Good governance is what we assure you and the
people of Rivers State”.
The
governor told the congregation that he had paid salaries and pensions owed
civil servants and pensioners in the state, adding that his administration had
also embarked on some projects for the development of Rivers.
“When
the battle was raging during my campaign period, I came to this church for
prayers and anointing and made a vow to this church and to the people of this
state that my administration will be anchored on God.
“My
detractors said there was no money in the state to pay salaries and do projects
and would like to know how I would solve the problem. To the glory of God, I
have paid the salaries the previous administration could not pay and have paid
the six months arrears of pensioners and today, you all can see on-going
projects everywhere”, he said.
Thanking
God for making him redeem his various pledges to the church, Governor Wike
noted that it was the church’s consistent interceding prayers that made his
administration fulfil its campaign promises to the people of Rivers State.
