A former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has backed the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tonye Cole, to succeed Governor Nyesom Wike.
Hotnewsdrop.com reports that Dokubo stated this during an interview on Arise TV’s The Morning Show ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
According to the former militant, the next Governor of Rivers State must divert the state’s wealth to investment.
Dokubo said, “What I want the next governor to do is to divert the wealth of Rivers people to investment. To invest in the economy of Rivers State and to create wealth.
“That should be first and foremost to create wealth, and that is the direction of Tonye Cole [the All Progressives Congress, APC gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State]. I would not want a governor who will be building flyovers and so on or who will be building skyscrapers without investing in the people and investing to make them stronger.
“To send Rivers people to be skilled people. If you come to Rivers State today, our people, when they finish their tertiary education, they are not employable because the schools did not provide a good environment for them to be employed.”
