Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has revealed that the Federal Government N78bn refund was expanded on repairs of Federal roads.
He added that more of the money refunded would be used on more project execution in the state, saying that it is intact.
The Governor stated this on Wednesday when he led the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in 2019, Peter Obi to inaugurate the Isiokpo Internal Roads, Phase 2 in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
He further stated that the money would be used to restore the state to what it used to be years back, adding that despite being in his second term, work would continue in earnest and relentlessly, for the good of Rivers people.
“Rivers people, the Federal Government has refunded us the money. I have not touched a dime yet and it is in the bank. I will use it for project execution.
“I kept it to tell those who are making noise to know that I am going to work till the last day in office. I will continue to work for the interest of our people. I’m not resting.
“They need to know that I will make sure what is supposed to be done for the people of Rivers State is done. I will persist until we have improved and changed Rivers State and bring it back to what it’s supposed to be,” he stated.
