Lamido, who commissioned the road, blasted the leadership of the APC for learning on the job after their electoral victory, pointing out that they have embarrassed Nigeria on the global stage through their failure to work for Nigerians.

He said: “Only PDP Governors are working. We in PDP, care and we are concerned. If we are giving a responsibility, we discharge it creditably. Governor Wike has done very well.  I extend the gratitude of the entire PDP family to Governor Wike for his performance”.

The former governor called on Nigerians to build understanding amongst themselves for the promotion of unity, peace and prosperity.

In his remarks, Wike urged leaders not to make excuses as the people expect them to deliver on their campaign promises.

“Whether there is economic recession or not, I will always fulfill my campaign promises to the people of the state.

“The people have played their part by voting us. Therefore, we have a responsibility to work for our people. They don’t deserve excuses”, he said

Governor Wike explained that the Ozuoba-Rumosi road is a direct reward to the people of Akpor Kingdom for their support, adding that the community was forgotten by the previous administration, hence his resolve to reconstruct the road linking them with their kith and kin in neighbouring communities.

Speaking earlier, the Rivers Commissioner for Works, Mr. Iheanyichukwu Harrison, said the road was so deplorable that the people of the area were cut off from their neighbours.
