Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has opened up on why he kicked the former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, out of the State, and endorsed Governor Nyesom Wike, prior to 2015 general election.
Recall, that Jonathan during the 2015 Governorship election threw his Presidential weight behind Wike, to ensure to Ameachi’s candidate never emerged as Governor.
Jonathan, who was speaking during the commissioning of the Second Nkpogu Bridge, as part of the Second Year Anniversary of Wike’s administration, declared that the performance of Wike has justified the support he received from the people during the 2015 election.
He said: “Governor Wike has performed wonderfully well.
“I have no regrets that Governor Wike is the Governor of Rivers State. I am happy that the Governor has opened up Rivers State, through projects.
“Wike has shown so much commitment to infrastructural development. The whole of Rivers State is now a construction yard.”
The former President, further said that the appreciation for the works done by Wike, goes beyond party lines.
He recalled that the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, after visiting the State, also stated that the Governor is delivering on projects.
Jonathan expressed happiness for the invitation to commission the all-important Second Nkpogu Bridge.
