Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has issued a rather unusual threat to Godswill Akpabio, the minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
Governor Wike’s threat to Akpabio is that he would bar him from using a road Rivers State Government is constructing.
The threat was issued by Governor Wike on Tuesday during the inauguration of the Muhammadu Buhari Nigeria Police Protection Unit, an NDDC 68 flats project in Port Harcourt.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was present at the inauguration of the project and other facilities alongside Akpabio on Tuesday.
Speaking at the event, Governor Wike accused Akpabio of reneging on his pledge to contribute to the road construction.
“As I speak, you have not brought one naira,” the governor told Mr Akpabio. “Meanwhile, the road is almost 35 per cent ready. If you don’t pay, I’ll make sure you do not use that road to your headquarters. Because, yes, I’m not a Father Christmas.”
The Rivers governor revealed that there was an agreement between his government, the NDDC, and the Niger Delta Affairs on how to contribute to the construction.
“Mr Minister, (Akpabio), you are here. You and the MD. You told me in the Government House that you will partner the state government. You said you would bring N2.5 billion, and the state will bring N2.5 billion for the dualisation of the bypass,” Governor Wike said.
