A former Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chukwuemeka Woke, has condemned Governor Siminalayi Fubara over a recent comment he made concerning projects in the state.
Naija News understands that Fubara, during a launch of projects in Ahoada and Etche, had mocked some projects constructed by his predecessors.
Reacting via a statement on Friday, Woke, who is also the Director General of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) slammed Fubara for tagging a road constructed in Omuma Local Government Area, as a “Farm Road that leads to nowhere.”
He fumed that the Governor’s remarks were troubling.
“How can you belittle essential infrastructure that connects farmers to markets, while simultaneously promising new contracts for road projects to aid transportation? This is hypocrisy draped in ignorance,” he said.
Woke said, “To ridicule Wike’s work, especially when it provides substantial benefits to the community, is not just factually incorrect but disingenuous.
“If anything, it shows a failure to acknowledge the foundations laid before you.
“To even give a thought of not executing any project in Wike’s community, if he were a bad person, speaks volumes of the governor’s insidious nature that should be worrisome to the public, particularly those who barely know him.
“We were all deceived by his pretentious disposition while he served as the Account General of the state, having been promoted above his contemporaries by Wike.”
He added, “It’s clear that maturity in leadership requires more than a title.”
