‪”This is what we want; a generation of leaders who are committed to making more progress in the direction of prosperity and development.

‪”This is what you get when you have the right people in place, who have the energy, intellectual wherewithal and commitment to drive development,” he said.

“As gvernor of Rivers State, we have observed with happiness the kind of seriousness he has brought to governance.”

‪In his comment, Wike said that he insisted on timelines for the completion of projects because of the need to avoid abandoned projects.
