Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Tuesday handed over keys of 15 sport utility vehicles to lawmakers representing the state in the National Assembly.
The governor presented the cars to the lawmakers through the chairman of state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Desmond Akawor.
Commissioner for Information and Communication Paulinus Nsirim said in a statement that “the gesture would ease their movement and enable them to discharge their legislative duties effectively.”
He urged them to keep faith with the party so they can collectively win the 2023 general elections at the national level.
Senator representing Rivers East Senatorial District George Sekibo said on behalf of his colleagues that despite challenges posed by COVID-19 on the state finances, Wike still saved funds to provide them the car gifts.
House of Representatives’ member representing Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency Dumnamene Deekor said the governor has been consistent in encouraging federal legislators to protect the interest of Rivers people.
