The Chairman, Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro. Felix Obuah, has described the invitation to the State Governor, Chief Barr. Nyesom Wike by the Chatham House, United Kingdom, for a Lecture on Sustainable Development as an affirmation by the International Community of his commitment and contribution to the development of the state.

The State PDP boss in a press statement on Sunday, noted: “Through prudent use of meager resources available to him and his selfless efforts, Governor Wike has ensured that infrastructural development is decentralised in the state, which has ensured that the people have access to basic amenities.

“Of particular interest is that all these unprecedented efforts of the Wike administration are not only noted within the state but also appreciated by international assessors who are so excited that besides conferring Governor Wike with awards of excellence in leadership have also deemed it worthwhile to invite him to deliver a Lecture in a World Conference to oblige other leaders around the globe the opportunity to benefit from his socio-economic policies and strategies.”

Obuah further observed that the international recognitions accorded Wike “have also rubbished his political opponents and their prejudices against his developmental efforts in the state.”

“We are also happy because we have been vindicated of our choice of Gov Wike as the best bet for the Office of Governor of Rivers State.

“Again, we are excited because the assessment by the international organisations is open to all public officers nationwide irrespective of the sector and it’s on record that no member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) whether at the State or federal level was considered worthy of recognition,” the state PDP boss noted.

While wishing Governor Wike a very successful outing at the International Conference as a Guest Lecturer, Obuah reassured that the PDP-led government in Rivers State will stop at nothing in redeeming the state from the economic stagnation.

He employed the people to always remain supportive and pray for the Governor whom he described as an internationally acclaimed agent of development.
