Wike who responded to criticism from the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and other stakeholders in the state, said the appointments were to fulfill his promise that he would begin to implement his policy of “stomach infrastructure of putting money in the pockets of Rivers people.”
In a statement on Friday, Wike said there was no crime in using Rivers State money to put food on the tables of Rivers people.
“Before these appointments, my mail box almost crashed. People were sending text messages saying ‘why are you leaving us alone, the job is too much. This number cannot do the work’.
