The governor-elect made this known on May 26, Tuesday, while speaking in Port Harcourt during a pre-inauguration lecture titled: ‘Democracy and good governance: Towards a New Rivers State’ as part of programmes for his inauguration as governor of the state.
Wike said the people gave him the mandate to work for the greater good of the state, so he will co-operate with the incoming federal government to attract benefits to the state.
“The people of the state did not overwhelmingly elect me to fight the administration, but to work for the greater good of our people. In cooperating with Buhari for development reasons, I will always bear in mind the fact that I am a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” he said.
The governor-elect said Rivers state was stinking with unbridled corruption but he will tackle it.
Wike assured the people that he will work towards the development of the state, adding that his administration would be transparent, accountable and God-fearing and also be one that listens and cares for the needs of the people.
He stated that the courts which had been shut for about a year and the state House of Assembly complex also shut for close to two years will be re-opened.
