Professor Lawrence Chukwu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State and candidate for Obio/Akpor Constituency 1 in the State House of Assembly for the 2023 poll, in this interview with DENNIS NAKU, speaks on the recent hobnobbing of some South-West APC governors and party leaders with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, among other issues
That is a good one. Let me now describe the nature and character of criminal APC members in Rivers State. The APC, Rivers State chapter, had 69 delegates to the presidential primaries. I was one of those 69 delegates. We went to Abuja and 69 of us voted for our leader, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, during the primaries. No single vote went out. And we remain one state so that no other aspirant talks to us except the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, who visited us here and spoke with us.

Not even a call to Tonye Cole, who is our governorship candidate. Not even a call to the party chairman, or to say, “Let’s find out how these people are doing. They will just come and go, including Dr.
What do I mean? Go to Sani Abacha Road in the government-reserved area; you dualise Abacha Road down to Agip; from Agip, you cross the bridge to Nkpo, Rumuolumeni; and from Nkpo-Rumuolumeni, you cross over to Ogbakiri. So, in terms of human capital development and empowerment, Zero. Civil servants have been promoted since he came on board as governor, not to talk of the training and retraining of primary school teachers. There are some schools you go to in this state that have only one or two teachers.
