"When you see good thing and you don't admire it, it means that either you are sick or you are wicked," the Governor said, adding, "all eyes can see the quality of projects you (Governor Wike) are executing, people call you Mr Project, but, you are Mr Quality Project."
He emphasised, "our democracy is ripe for our people to re-elect people based on their performance, those seeking re-election should be able to show their report cards, the people should be able to look at the promises they made before they assumed office and check if they have delivered on such promises."
Governor Okowa who commissioned the Mgbuoshimini Model Primary School and Mgbuoshimini Modern Primary Health Centre, commended Governor Wike for executing "life changing projects."
"It is good to give thanksgiving to God, it is better that God acknowledges that you are rendering selfless service to the people," he added, noting, "Governor Wike is offering service, services that touch lives to his people."
