The
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, was commended by twenty-eight
political parties in the state for living up to his campaign promises so far.
Secretary
of Inter-party Advisory Council, IPAC, Rueben Favour said the parties were
impressed with Wike’s performance so far.
Reuben
stated that Wike, by appointing opposition into the newly constituted caretaker
committees in the various local government areas has given room to every Rivers
indigene to contribute their quota to the development of the State.
The
political parties further commended the governor for encouraging the judiciary
to thrive as an independent arm of government.
They
said: “The judiciary which was in comatose for over a year under the immediate
past administration is now free from executive emasculation as lawyers and
judges are serving the course of justice. In addition, Governor Wike has
removed the legislature from executive encumbrances, interference and
intimidation. All the three arms of government are working with absolute
autonomy and in synergy, too. This, by our reckoning, is the governor’s idea of
democracy and good governance.
“It
is important to state that Governor Wike makes the security of lives and
property of all Rivers people and residents a topmost priority, hence, the
acquisition of 64 Toyota Hilux Security Patrol Vans fitted with modern security
gadgets for law enforcement agencies.”
However,
the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state is not part of the Inter-Party
Advisory Council, IPAC.
